Noting that pelvic coverage can increase radiation dosing for liver computed tomography (CT) by 29 to 39 percent, researchers found low three-year cumulative rates of incidental pelvic tumors and isolated pelvic metastasis in follow-up liver CT imaging of over 1,100 people treated for hepatocellular carcinoma.
In a recent video interview, radiologist Jonathon Lee, MD, shared insights from his experience on the insidious nature of burnout, emphasized the link between work-life balance and productivity, and discussed a recent partnership between the teleradiology service provider vRad and the behavioral health consultancy VITAL WorkLife to help promote well-being for vRad teleradiologists.

Approximately 43 percent of patients with COVID-19 and preexisting cancer presented with atypical or indeterminate findings on chest computed tomography (CT) scans.
In a new study that may have implications for breast cancer surgery, researchers found that shorter time to enhancement (TTE) on preoperative ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was significantly associated with escalation of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to invasive breast cancer.
The HERA W10 Elite ultrasound platform provides enhanced visualization features and artificial intelligence (AI)-aided measurement capabilities.
In a video interview at the recent Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference, Wayne Dell, M.D., discussed retrospective research that examined the use of hyperlinked multimedia radiology reports across modality and subspecialty five years after initial implementation of the technology at the University of Virginia.
In newly published research, researchers found that an artificial intelligence (AI) computer-aided detection (CAD) system was more than twice as likely as non-AI assessment to diagnose actionable lung nodules on chest X-rays.

Employing an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered scoring system, LVivo IQS reportedly provides real-time assessment of the quality of cardiac ultrasound images.
In a new study of 1,232 women diagnosed with breast cancer within a year of a screening mammography exam, researchers found that interval breast cancer was 17 percent more likely in women with dense or extremely dense breasts, and over three times more likely to involve stage 2 or higher primary tumors in comparison to screening-detected breast cancer.

While acknowledging a moderate to high risk of bias in the retrospective studies reviewed for a recent meta-analysis, researchers found the current evidence supports the use of high-intensity magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) surveillance for detection of soft tissue sarcoma recurrence.
From enhanced image quality and workflow efficiencies to an improved patient experience and potential synergies wih enterprise cloud services, artificial intelligence continues to redefine possibilities in radiology.
In a study of over 9,000 children that examined structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data as well as parent and child self-reporting of adversity-related measures, researchers found that greater exposure to adversities for Black children was linked to lower gray matter volume in the amygdala and multiple subregions of the prefrontal cortex in comparison to White children.
