A new study of nearly 17 million emergency department (ED) visits by Medicare beneficiaries between 2005 and 2020 revealed the presence of non-physician practitioners (NPPs) was associated with a 5.3 percent increase in imaging.

Findings from a recent multinational phase III trial demonstrated that the investigational agent TLX250-CDx had an 86 percent sensitivity rate for detecting clear cell renal cell carcinoma via positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT).

In the newly released Lung-RADS 2022 classification system for computed tomography (CT) lung cancer screening, the American College of Radiology (ACR) has noted a variety of updates including new classification criteria for atypical pulmonary cysts and airway nodules, time intervals for nodule growth and a new stepped management approach for Lung-RADS categories 3 and 4A.

The recently launched Scenaria View Focus Edition computed tomography (CT) system features an advanced cardiac motion correction tool that reportedly provides significantly higher temporal resolution than conventional image reconstruction.

In a recently published article, researchers from Yale University discuss the pros and cons of current FDA regulations as they apply to the clearance and use of adjunctive artificial intelligence (AI) software with conventional breast cancer screening modalities such as mammography.

New research shows that 18F-NaF PET/CT had higher sensitivity, accuracy, and negative predictive value than 99mTc-MDP SPECT for bone metastases in patients deemed to be at high risk for prostate cancer or breast cancer.

Do our assumptions and “satisfaction of search” prevent us from digging deeper on imaging reads?

In a new study involving 198 contrast-enhanced mammography exams in 104 women with breast implants, researchers noted that only one patient had a complication.

In a multicenter study of 685 people who had positive findings for lung cancer on low-dose computed tomography (CT), researchers found that men, Black individuals, and smokers had lower rates of adherence with recommended follow-up care.

In two independent study cohorts, researchers found that first-degree relatives of probands with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and advanced fibrosis had a 14 to 15.6 percent higher risk of developing advanced fibrosis.

In a recent video interview, Thomas Marini, MD discussed the need for ultrasound access to facilitate breast cancer screening in underserved populations and the potential utility of volume sweep imaging, a handheld ultrasound technique that requires minimal training and has a high rate of agreement with conventional ultrasound on BI-RADS assessments.

Reviewing data from over 4 million patients who presented to emergency departments with suspected urinary stone disease between 2012 and 2018, researchers noted a greater than 10 percent decrease in visits with no imaging study and a greater than 10 percent increase in visits with CT imaging.

Emphasizing ease of installation and a cloud-based service, Cleerly said its new Proxy software allows smooth transmission of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) scans between interdisciplinary clinicians caring for patients with heart disease.

Is due consideration of patient history, demographics, and previous imaging essential or a cheater’s crutch when assessing new imaging?

Emerging research revealed that a deep learning model had a nearly twofold increase in successful segmentation and reconstruction of coronary total occlusions (CTOs) on coronary computed tomography angiogram (CCTA) and a 73 percent reduction in post-processing and measurement time in comparison to a conventional manual approach.
