What is the Best Use of AI in CT Lung Cancer Screening?
In comparison to radiologist assessment, the use of AI to pre-screen patients with low-dose CT lung cancer screening provided a 12 percent reduction in mean interpretation time with a slight increase in specificity and a slight decrease in the recall rate, according to new research.
Meta-Analysis Shows Merits of AI with CTA Detection of Coronary Artery Stenosis and Calcified Plaque
Artificial intelligence demonstrated higher AUC, sensitivity, and specificity than radiologists for detecting coronary artery stenosis > 50 percent on computed tomography angiography (CTA), according to a new 17-study meta-analysis.
New bpMRI Study Suggests AI Offers Comparable Results to Radiologists for PCa Detection
Demonstrating no significant difference with radiologist detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), a biparametric MRI-based AI model provided an 88.4 percent sensitivity rate in a recent study.
FDA Clears Emerging AI-Enabled Software for Cardiac Ultrasound
Recent research has demonstrated that the AI software HeartFocus enabled novice health-care providers to achieve greater than 85 percent agreement with expert sonographers in assessing echocardiographic parameters.
What New Research Reveals About Computed Tomography and Radiation-Induced Cancer Risk
In a recent interview, Rebecca Smith-Bindman, M.D., offered key insights on new research examining the link between computed tomography scans and projected future cases of radiation-induced cancer.
Can CT-Based AI Radiomics Enhance Prediction of Recurrence-Free Survival for Non-Metastatic ccRCC?
In comparison to a model based on clinicopathological risk factors, a CT radiomics-based machine learning model offered greater than a 10 percent higher AUC for predicting five-year recurrence-free survival in patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Could Lymph Node Distribution Patterns on CT Improve Staging for Colon Cancer?
For patients with microsatellite instability-high colon cancer, distribution-based clinical lymph node staging (dCN) with computed tomography (CT) offered nearly double the accuracy rate of clinical lymph node staging in a recent study.
Could Ultrafast MRI Enhance Detection of Malignant Foci for Breast Cancer?
In a new study involving over 120 women, nearly two-thirds of whom had a family history of breast cancer, ultrafast MRI findings revealed a 5 percent increase in malignancy risk for each second increase in the difference between lesion and background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) time to enhancement (TTE).
Study Suggests AI Software May Offer Standalone Value for X-Ray Detection of Pediatric Fractures
Artificial intelligence (AI) software demonstrated a 92 percent sensitivity for detecting fractures in a study involving over 1,600 X-rays from a tertiary pediatric emergency department.
AMA Approves Category III CPT Codes for AI-Enabled Perivascular Fat Analysis from CT Scans
Going into effect in 2026, the new CPT codes may facilitate increased adoption of the CaRi-Heart software for detecting coronary inflammation from computed tomography scans pending FDA clearance of the technology.
