CT

In a recent video interview, Arun Krishnaraj, MD, MPH and David Larson, MD, MBA, discussed the continued use of physical media to transport medical images between different health-care facilities, resulting inefficiencies and delays with patient care, and the initiative to create a linked multi-hub model to end this dated practice once and for all.

In addition to recharging one’s batteries, a temporary hiatus from employment may provide time for self-reflection and recognition of what you truly enjoy about your work.

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.

Artificial intelligence and other emerging technological advances may transform health-care certification, potentially improving access to best practice standards, increasing provider engagement, and bolstering collaboration.

The authors of a new meta-analysis found no significant differences between clinicians and artificial intelligence in diagnosing fractures but conceded that slightly over half of the studies assessed had a high risk of potential bias.

In a recent video interview, Syam Reddy, MD discussed the merits of computed tomography (CT) colonography, a non-invasive alternative to conventional colonoscopy, which may help reduce gaps in screening for colorectal cancer.

In a recent video interview, Kevin J. Abrams, MD, discussed highlights from the recent 25th Annual Symposium of the American Society of Spine Radiology (ASSR), including lectures on imaging for spontaneous intracranial hypotension, the emergence of dynamic susceptibility contrast for MR perfusion and insights on the use of dual-energy computed tomography (CT) for diagnosing vertebral fractures.

The retrospective study, which involved nearly 1,000 patients with COVID-19, found that a high initial chest radiograph severity score was an independent risk factor for intrathoracic complications.

Offering a potential antidote to health-care silos that can hamper and delay care, the Enterprise Imaging and Informatics Suite may revamp image sharing and communication between providers.

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.

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.

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