A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.

Intended for mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) interpretation, the device reportedly emphasizes high-definition image quality and ease of use for radiologists.

The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.

For women with dense breasts, the combination of mammography and supplemental breast ultrasound had a 36.4 percent higher sensitivity rate for detecting breast cancer in comparison to the combination of mammography and adjunctive AI, according to a new study.

Emerging research suggests CT radiation dosing of 50 mSv or greater is associated with higher mortality at two years but nearly half of those patients were alive 10 years later.

While PET/MRI and PET/CT had comparable sensitivity for patient-level regional nodal metastases and lesion-level recurrence, the authors of a systematic review noted that PET/MRI had significantly higher accuracy in breast cancer and colorectal cancer staging.

The ninth FDA clearance for the Swoop Portable MR Imaging system is for new software that enables significant scan time reduction for brain MRI scans.

After being informed about the benefits and risks associated with screening mammography, over a third of women polled indicated a preference to delay breast cancer screening.

The deep learning SubtleSynth software creates synthetic STIR images that are reportedly interchangeable with conventional sequences obtained from T1 and T2-weighted MRI.

The Aperto Lucent open 0.4T MRI platform reportedly offers enhanced fat suppression and spatial resolution capabilities in addition to its open architecture design.

Offering dedicated PET imaging of the brain, the compact NeuroLF system may facilitate patient comfort while enabling detection and monitoring of brain tumors, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Going into effect in 2015, the Category III CPT add-on code may facilitate broader access to the use of fluorescence imaging for assessing margins after lumpectomies for signs of residual breast cancer.

Emerging research revealed that a machine learning combination of amyloid beta PET and structural MRI demonstrated an 89 percent AUC in differentiating between older healthy patients and those with Alzheimer’s disease.
