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.

The Bunkerhill BMD software provides AI-automated assessment of bone mineral density from non-contrast abdominal computed tomography scans.

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).

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.

A systematic review of 147 clinical trials assessing neoadjuvant systemic therapy for breast cancer also revealed that mid-treatment imaging was utilized in 56 percent of the studies.

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.

While standalone AI interpretation offered over 10 percent higher sensitivity than radiologists for patients undergoing post-mastectomy surveillance mammography, it missed over 30 percent of breast cancers.

For patients with acute ischemic stroke, research has demonstrated that automated assessment of ischemic core volume on brain CT scans via the Brainomix 360 software is equivalent to that derived from CT perfusion.

Emerging research from the recent Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) conference suggests the combination of transarterial radioembolization (TARE) and immunotherapy may offer improved three-year survival outcomes for patients with breast cancer and liver metastases.

Emerging research demonstrated that cognitive declines in memory, executive function and processing speed domains were associated with irregular shape of periventricular/confluent white matter hyperintensities.

While the best-laid plans may become fraught with contingencies and detours, how we react to them changes with the wisdom of experience.

In a study recently presented at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) conference, researchers found that novice use of AI-guided cardiac ultrasound after an AI-enabled electrocardiogram increased the positive predictive value for reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) or aortic valve stenosis by 33 percent.

Abbreviated MRI demonstrated a 95.3 percent specificity for rectal cancer and provided strong agreement with the full MRI protocol for T staging and detection of extramural venous invasion, according to newly published research.

In a review of over 1,630,000 office-based non-breast imaging Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) claims from 2022, researchers found that 39.5 percent of nuclear medicine imaging were interpreted by ordering clinicians.

The Exa PACS/RIS platform reportedly combines AI-enabled worklist navigation tools with advances in multiplanar functionality and 3D-generated image segmentation.

After a multivariable assessment including age and comorbidities, women with pulmonary embolism (PE) had a 48 percent higher risk of one-year mortality than men with PE, according to a new study involving over 33,000 patients.

Featuring enhanced low-dose image quality with motion-free images, the Revolution Vibe CT system reportedly facilitates improved diagnostic clarity for patients with conditions ranging from in-stent restenosis to atrial fibrillation.

New multicenter research suggests that radiomic features derived from breast MRI may enhance prognostic capabilities with disease upstaging for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
