CT

The new artificial intelligence-powered software from Nanox reportedly identifies findings suggestive of compression fractures and low density on computed tomography (CT) images and facilitates more precise measurement of these fractures.

While there can be an array of challenges in outsourcing night coverage to teleradiology service providers, due diligence with contract terms can help mitigate costs and increase flexibility if radiology practices decide to switch teleradiology providers down the line.

In a formal request to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the American College of Radiology (ACR) emphasized that Medicare and Medicaid coverage of computed tomography colonography (CTC) could significantly improve colorectal cancer screening rates for at-risk populations.

Employing a deep learning system for pancreatic segmentation, researchers found that intrapancreatic fat percentage and pancreatic fractal dimension were among the key predictors for type 2 diabetes mellitus in a multivariable analysis.

Multivariable analysis from a recently published study found that males and people older than 60 years of age were more prone to persistent abnormalities on chest computed tomography (CT) one year after COVID-19 pneumonia.
