ECR Study Finds Mixed Results with AI on Breast Ultrasound
While adjunctive use of AI led to significantly higher specificity and accuracy rates in detecting cancer on breast ultrasound exams in comparison to unassisted reading by breast radiologists, researchers noted that 12 of 13 BI-RADS 3 lesions upgraded by AI were ultimately benign, according to research presented at the European Congress of Radiology.
Can Autonomous AI Help Reduce Prostate MRI Workloads Without Affecting Quality?
Based on findings from a multicenter study of over 1,600 patients, researchers at the European Congress of Radiology suggest the inclusion of autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) triage could facilitate up to a 75 percent reduction in prostate MRI reading workload.
Five Insights on Artifacts and Limitations with Contrast-Enhanced Mammography
Noting that technique issues, patient positioning miscues and atypical features can all contribute to faulty interpretation with contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), researchers at the European Congress of Radiology shared their insights on navigating artifacts and limitations with CEM.
ECR Study Examines Key Predictive Factors for Metastasis in Patients with High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Sixty-five percent of patients with newly diagnosed high-risk prostate cancer may have extraprostatic extension on MRI, and PSMA PET/CT findings suggest those with Gleason scores of eight or higher have more than double the risk of metastasis, according to a new study presented at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR).
Study: Emerging AI Platform for DBT Shows 23 Percent Increase in Breast Cancer Detection Rate
In a recent video interview, Kathy Schilling, M.D., discussed findings from a study of ProFound AI, an adjunctive artificial intelligence (AI) software for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), that demonstrated a 23 percent increase in breast cancer detection in comparison to DBT alone.
Study: AI Improves Cancer Detection Rate for Digital Mammography and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
Comparing year-long findings with and without adjunctive artificial intelligence (AI) at a breast cancer screening program in Spain, researchers found the combination of digital breast tomosynthesis and AI had a 92.5 percent accuracy for diagnosing cancer in patients with elevated risk.
Canon Medical Launches New CT and X-Ray Modalities at ECR 2023
The new launches include the 80/160-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner Aquilion Serve, which allows simultaneous previews of axial, lateral and AP views, and Celex, a multipurpose X-ray system that offers automated and customizable features to help maximize workflow efficiencies.
