Diagnostic Imaging's Weekly Scan: April 27 — May 3

In comparison to American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM staging, an emerging CT-based scoring system for assessing early recurrence of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma demonstrated over a 22 percent higher AUC in testing and external validation cohorts in a new study.

In a second part of a new podcast episode on recently published research on projected radiation-induced cancers from computed tomography (CT) scans, Mahadevappa Mahesh, MS, Ph.D., and Joseph Cavallo, M.D., offer current perspectives on cardiac CT dosing, AI advances and the importance of teamwork in ensuring appropriate dosing for CT.

New research revealed that Hispanic Americans with evidence of hepatic steatosis on MRI but no formal diagnosis of MASLD had over a fourfold higher risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma in comparison to those who had a formal diagnosis of MASLD.

In a new podcast, Mahadevappa Mahesh, MS, Ph.D., and Joseph Cavallo, M.D., share their perspectives on recently published research looking at projections for future radiation-induced cancers from computed tomography (CT) scans.

Emerging MRI research suggests that brain age is nearly two years older than chronological age for people with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and increased alcohol intake.

Offering automated conversion of computed tomography angiography (CTA) into 3D images, Viz 3D CTA reportedly facilitates real-time insights into complex neurovascular anatomy.
