Study Finds High Concordance Between AI and Radiologists for Cervical Spine Fractures on CT
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.
FDA Clears AI-Powered Qualitative Perfusion Mapping for Cone-Beam CT
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.
Can a CT-Based Radiomics Model Bolster Detection of Malignant Thyroid Nodules?
A computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics model that includes 28 radiomic features showed significantly higher accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity than conventional CT in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules, according to newly published research.
Breast MRI and Dense Breasts: A Closer Look at Early Findings from a New Prospective Trial
Supplemental breast MRI had a cancer detection rate (CDR) of 20/1000 and a positive predictive value (PPV) of 50 percent, according to preliminary findings from a prospective trial involving women with heterogeneously or very dense breasts.
For over 1,200 women with a previous history of breast cancer, interim findings from a prospective trial suggest that adding contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) enhances detection of second malignancies with a limited increase in recalls.
Contrast-Enhanced Mammography and Dense Breasts: What a New Meta-Analysis Reveals
The 10-study meta-analysis demonstrated that contrast-enhanced mammography has a 95 percent sensitivity rate and an 81 percent specificity rate for diagnosing suspicious lesions in women with dense breasts.
In finalized updates to breast cancer screening recommendations, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) advocates biennial mammography screening for women 40 to 74 years of age and notes insufficient evidence for the use of supplemental MRI in women with dense breasts.
A Closer Look at MRI-Guided Transurethral Ultrasound Ablation for Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer
In a recent interview, Steven Raman, M.D., discussed the use of MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound (TULSA) in the treatment of intermediate risk prostate cancer and key research findings with one- and five-year outcomes.
