The expanded FDA clearance for Collaboration Live (Philips) gives clinicians the option to consult on or diagnose ultrasound images from their mobile devices.

What is your diagnosis?

In addition to facilitating strong interreader agreement among radiologists of various experience levels, use of the proposed Neuropathy Score Reporting and Data System (NS-RADS) classification for peripheral neuropathy reportedly improved accuracy in differentiating between milder and more severe categories for muscle abnormalities and nerve lesions.

In a recent video interview, Amy K. Patel, MD, discussed the aftereffects of delayed breast cancer screening due to the COVID-19 pandemic, keys for improving outreach to underserved communities, legislative wins and challenges, and coalition building to educate and encourage women to resume regular breast cancer screening exams.

What does the CT reveal?

For patients with stable chest pain and suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), emerging evidence shows that cardiac computed tomography (CT) has a lower risk of major procedure-related complications than catheterization.

Promoted as a helpful tool for increasing efficiency, voice recognition can be an endless source of frustration for radiologists.

In a large study reviewing biennial mammography screening for women between the ages of 50 to 74, researchers estimated a 6.1 percent overdiagnosis rate for indolent pre-clinical cancer and a 9.3 percent overdiagnosis rate for progressive pre-clinical cancer in women who would have died from other causes prior to clinical diagnosis.

A recent multicenter study of BoneView AI noted a significant increase in sensitivity for fracture detection on X-rays and decreases in reading time for radiographs.

In combination with cloud-based data infrastructure and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, handheld ultrasound devices may have the potential to significantly enhance efficiency for providers and contribute to improved patient outcomes.

What is your diagnosis?

Innovations with artificial technology (AI) are fueling product advances that offer enhanced image quality, patient positioning and workflow efficiencies.

A new artificial intelligence tool reportedly overcomes resolution issues of standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans with 3D images of the shoulder bones and may eliminate pre-operative use of computed tomography (CT) for total shoulder arthroplasty procedures.

Is there a tipping point when the technology you need overwhelms a workstation designed for optimal efficiency?

A recent study found that Viz ANEURYSM had a 94 percent accuracy rate of diagnosing subarachnoid hemorrhages on computed tomography angiography (CTA).

The ruling noted that the interim final rule for the legislation materially altered the independent dispute resolution (IDR) process of the No Surprises Act and cited a lack of sufficient “notice and comment,” rendering the changes as unlawful as per the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).

The newly approved NephroScan may have promise in facilitating the diagnosis and assessment of renal disorders.

Utilizing biomarkers from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams, AMRA Medical’s BCP Scan reportedly provides precise measurements of muscle and fat.

What is your diagnosis?

When there are equivocal findings with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), spot compression views may significantly enhance specificity and accuracy, and could reduce additional workup in benign cases.

For premenopausal women with a family history of breast cancer, new research shows a 25 to 30 percent higher likelihood of mammographic breast density.

What is your diagnosis?

In a recent video interview, Nina Kottler, MD, discussed the promise of artificial intelligence (AI) for improving workflow efficiency for radiologists, keys to assessing AI vendors and change management principles for facilitating implementation of AI into one’s practice.

Resolving this recruiting dilemma often comes down to how one spins the incentive “differentials.”

In a new video presentation, a neuroradiologist discusses steps that individual radiologists can take to reduce the risk of physician burnout as well as actions that group radiology practices can take to increase the engagement of their staff.

What is your diagnosis?

In a new study comparing the development of myocarditis among vaccinated patients to those with COVID-19-related illness and patients with other etiologies, researchers noted less severe abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and no major adverse events in a short-term follow-up.

In a new national coverage determination, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have lowered the starting thresholds for lung cancer screening from 55 to 50 years of age and from a 30-pack/year tobacco smoking history to 20 packs a year.
