In a recent interview, Richard Duszak, MD, discussed new study findings that showed over nine percent annual increases in ultrasound, CT and MRI interpretation by office-based non-physician practitioners (NPPs) between 2013 and 2022.

The AI-enabled EchoGo® Amyloidosis software for echocardiography has reportedly demonstrated an 84.5 percent sensitivity rate for diagnosing cardiac amyloidosis in heart failure patients 65 years of age and older.

While a large retrospective study found that interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) were evident on 1.7 percent of computed tomography (CT) scans, researchers found that 43.9 percent of ILAs, including fibrotic ILAs, were not reported.

For patients undergoing curative treatment for lung cancer, coronary artery calcification scoring via computed tomography has a 97 percent likelihood of determining their risk for major cardiovascular events, according to a new meta-analysis.

Agreement on follow-up imaging was 41 percent more likely with recommendations by thoracic radiologists and 36 percent less likely on recommendations for follow-up nuclear imaging, according to new research.

Reportedly developed on over 90,000 ultrasound exams, the BrightHeart AI software identifies suspicious findings suggestive of congenital heart defects through AI-powered evaluation of fetal heart morphology.

Icobrain.aria is reportedly the first AI software geared toward the detection and monitoring of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIAs) on brain MRI.

The Signa Magnus MRI device offers a slew rate and gradient amplitude that are reportedly superior to those of 60 or 70 cm bore whole-body MRI systems.

Researchers found that new prostate lesion detection on SPECT/CT at the beginning of a second cycle of 177 Lu-PSMA-617 for mCRPC was associated with an over sevenfold higher mortality risk.

The Spectral CT 7500 RT system reportedly combines 4D conventional computed tomography (CT) with the enhanced quantification and visualization of spectral CT to facilitate improved precision with radiotherapy.

Employing deep learning reconstruction at four excitations for DWI MRI may lead to an average five-minute reduction in exam time for prostate mpMRI, according to a new study.

Employing advanced deep learning convolutional neural networks, ProFound Detection Version 4.0 reportedly offers a 50 percent improvement in detecting cancer in dense breasts in comparison to the previous version of the software.

Trained on over five million spine MRI scans, the RAI software reportedly facilitates rapid pathology detection and enhanced consistency with disc measurement.
