Seven Takeaways from New CT and MRI Guidelines for Ovarian Cancer Staging
In an update of previous guidelines from the European Society of Urogenital Radiology published in 2010, a 21-expert panel offered consensus recommendations on the utility of CT, MRI and PET-CT in the staging and follow-up imaging for patients with ovarian cancer.
In the second part of a two-part interview on the recently published appropriate use criteria for brain positron emission tomography (PET) for patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Phillip Kuo, M.D. discusses clinical cases involving the use of amyloid and tau PET imaging.
Four Strategies to Address the Tipping Point in Radiology
January 17th 2025In order to flip the script on the impact of the radiology workforce shortage, radiology groups and practices need to make sound investments in technologies and leverage partnerships to mitigate gaps in coverage and maximize workflow efficiencies.
Can AI Bolster Breast Cancer Detection in DBT Screening?
In sequential breast cancer screening with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), true positive examinations had more than double the AI case score of true negative examinations and the highest positive AI score changes from previous exams, according to new research.
CT Study Reveals Key Indicators for Angiolymphatic Invasion in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
In computed tomography (CT) scans for patients with solid non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) < 30 mm, emerging research suggests the lollipop sign is associated with a greater than fourfold likelihood of angiolymphatic invasion.
Can Generative AI Facilitate Simulated Contrast Enhancement for Prostate MRI?
Deep learning synthesis of contrast-enhanced MRI from non-contrast prostate MRI sequences provided an average multiscale structural similarity index of 70 percent with actual contrast-enhanced prostate MRI in external validation testing from newly published research.
In a recent interview, Phillip Kuo, M.D., discussed the impact of newer anti-amyloid antibody therapies for Alzheimer’s disease upon recently issued appropriate use criteria (AUC) for amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) imaging as well as the incorporation of tau PET into the AUC for patients with mild cognitive impairment.
Can MRI-Based AI Enhance Risk Stratification in Prostate Cancer?
Employing baseline MRI and clinical data, an emerging deep learning model was 32 percent more likely to predict the progression of low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) to clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), according to new research.
Shaping the Future of Radiology in 2025: Trends, Threats, and Opportunities
January 10th 2025How do we respond to challenges with staff recruitment, cybersecurity, and looming hospital takeovers in radiology? This author assesses key trends in radiology and offers key insights to stay competitive in the field.
Can MRI Have an Impact with Fertility-Sparing Treatments for Endometrial and Cervical Cancers?
In a literature review that includes insights from recently issued guidelines from multiple European medical societies, researchers discuss the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in facilitating appropriate patient selection for fertility-sparing treatments to address early-stage endometrial and cervical cancer.
Surveillance Breast MRI Associated with Lower Risks of Advanced Second Breast Cancers
After propensity score matching in a study of over 3,000 women with a personal history of breast cancer, researchers found that surveillance breast MRI facilitated a 59 percent lower risk in advanced presentations of second breast cancers.
