Can CT-Based AI Provide Automated Detection of Colorectal Cancer?
For the assessment of contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic CT exams, an artificial intelligence model demonstrated equivalent or better sensitivity than radiologist readers, and greater than 90 percent specificity for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
Emerging PET/CT Agent Shows Promise in Detecting PCa Recurrence in Patients with Low PSA Levels
18F-DCFPyL facilitated detection of recurrent prostate cancer in 51 percent of patients with PSA levels ranging between 0.2 to 0.5 ng/ml, according to new research presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Genitourinary Cancers (ASCO-GU) Symposium.
Forecasting Supply and Demand in Radiology in 2055
Reviewing current and emerging trends in imaging utilization and the impact of attrition rates and radiology residency positions on the field, researchers explore the future of radiology with two new provocative studies.
Emerging MRI Scoring System May Help Predict Recurrent and Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Preoperative use of the scoring system for gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI demonstrated an average AUC of 85 percent and average specificity of 89 percent in external validation cohorts for pathologic features of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Key Chest CT Parameters for Body Composition May be Prognostic for Patients with Resectable NSCLC
A high intermuscular adipose index has a 49 percent increased likelihood of being associated with lower overall survival in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to new research.
Employing AI in Detecting Subdural Hematomas on Head CTs: An Interview with Jeremy Heit, MD, PhD
In a video interview from the International Stroke Conference (ISC), Jeremy Heit, M.D., Ph.D., discussed new research revealing over 90 percent sensitivity and specificity rates for AI detection of subdural hematomas on non-contrast-enhanced head CTs.
Comparative AI Study Shows Merits of RapidAI LVO Software in Stroke Detection
The Rapid LVO AI software detected 33 percent more cases of large vessel occlusion (LVO) on computed tomography angiography (CTA) than Viz LVO AI software, according to a new comparative study presented at the International Stroke Conference (ISC).
What a New Meta-Analysis Reveals About PET/CT Radiotracers for csPCa
The PET/CT agent 18F-PSMA-1007 offered the highest surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) out of nine radiotracers at the patient and lesion level for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), according to a meta-analysis.
Study: Mammography AI Leads to 29 Percent Increase in Breast Cancer Detection
Use of the mammography AI software had a nearly equivalent false positive rate as unassisted radiologist interpretation and resulted in a 44 percent reduction in screen reading workload, according to findings from a randomized controlled trial involving over 105,000 women.
New CT Angiography Study Shows Impact of COVID-19 on Coronary Inflammation and Plaque
Prior COVID-19 infection was associated with a 28 percent higher progression of total percent atheroma volume (PAV) annually and over a 5 percent higher incidence of high-risk plaque in patients with coronary artery lesions, according to CCTA findings from a new study.
