Emerging AI Mammography Model May Enhance Clarity for Initial BI-RADS 3 and 4 Classifications
In a study involving over 12,000 Asian women, researchers found that an artificial intelligence (AI) model converted over 83 percent of false positives in patients with initial BI-RADS 3 and 4 assessments into benign BI-RADS categories.
CT Perfusion Study Shows Enhanced Detection of Medium Vessel Occlusions with Emerging AI Software
The Rapid CTP AI software offered 23 percent greater detection of medium vessel occlusions in comparison to the Viz CTP AI software, according to research presented at the European Stroke (Organization) Conference (ESOC).
Study: Abbreviated Breast MRI Offers Equivalent Accuracy to mpMRI for Women with Dense Breasts
Emerging research suggests that abbreviated breast MRI offers comparable sensitivity and specificity as multiparametric MRI in women with extremely dense breasts with a nearly 50 percent reduction in reading time for radiologists.
Can AI Predict Future Lung Cancer Risk from a Single CT Scan?
In never-smokers, deep learning assessment of single baseline low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans demonstrated a 79 percent AUC for predicting lung cancer up to six years later, according to new research presented today at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) 2025 International Conference.
What if Radiology Turns Out Exactly the Way We Predict it Will?
May 19th 2025Whether it is reimbursement cuts or continued attempts to push non-radiologist image interpretation, where do we draw the line between inspired protest and misspent energy criticizing things that are doomed to fail or things we have no control over?
Large Study Affirms Safety of Ultrasound Enhancing Agents for Echocardiography
Those receiving ultrasound enhancing agents (UEAs) for transthoracic or stress echocardiography had lower odds of all-cause death in comparison to patients who did not have UEAs, according to a nationwide study involving 11.4 million patients.
What a New PSMA PET/CT Study Reveals About Local PCa Treatment and High-Risk Recurrence
For patients at high-risk for biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer, PSMA PET/CT findings revealed that 77 percent had one or more prostate lesions after undergoing local radiation therapy or radical prostatectomy, according to a recent study.
Combining Advances in Computed Tomography Angiography with AI to Enhance Preventive Care
In a recent interview, C. Alberto Morales, M.D., discussed the impact of advances with CTA imaging and AI, and a shifting emphasis in cardiac risk stratification from stenosis to plaque burden.
Can Emerging AI Software Offer Detection of CAD on CCTA on Par with Radiologists?
In a study involving over 1,000 patients who had coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) exams, AI software demonstrated a 90 percent AUC for assessments of cases > CAD-RADS 3 and 4A and had a 98 percent NPV for obstructive coronary artery disease.
