The artificial intelligence (AI)-powered module provides a prostate segmentation tool for MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) procedures in patients with prostate cancer.

While radiologists and other providers may be discouraged by insurer denials saying the use of a technological advance is “unproven and investigational,” 82 percent of appeals for prior authorization denials were approved in 2021.

While acknowledging variable accuracy overall with CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR-CT) values, researchers found that the accuracy rate increased to 90 percent for FFR-CT values greater > 0.90 and < 0.49.

Could the principles of operant conditioning reinforce more of a simpatico relationship between radiologists and technologists?

In a recent lecture at the 2024 ARRS Annual Meeting, Jordana Phillips, MD, discussed the role of contrast-enhanced mammography in staging breast cancer, evaluating response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and recalls from screening.

Using a learning network model to discuss challenges and share insights among radiology departments from five different organizations, researchers noted that 87 percent of audited prostate MRI exams had PI-QUAL scores > 4 at the conclusion of the collaborative program.

In a recent interview, Stacy Smith-Foley, M.D., shared her perspective on the shortcomings of the recently issued breast cancer screening recommendations from the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF).

In a study involving over 1,000 visible prostate lesions on biparametric MRI, a deep learning algorithm detected 96 percent of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in comparison to a 98 percent detection rate for an expert genitourinary radiologist.

A point-based model that incorporates prostate MRI findings offered a sensitivity rate of 89.5 percent for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer and could prevent over 20 percent of biopsies, according to new research.

Review the case and test your knowledge to make the correct diagnosis.

Researchers found a 98.3 percent concordance between attending radiology reports and AI assessments for possible cervical spine fractures on CT, according to new research presented at the 2024 ARRS Annual Meeting.

Reportedly validated in more than 10 clinical trials, the AngioFlow perfusion imaging software enables timely identification of brain regions with cerebral blood flow reduction and those with significant hypoperfusion.

For neuroradiologists, the Signa Magnus 3T MRI system may offer enhanced visualization of the brain microstructure, microvasculature, and function.

While leadership offers a variety of benefits for ambitious ladder climbers in radiology, does it lose its luster as goals shift later in one’s career?
