Emerging research suggests CT radiation dosing of 50 mSv or greater is associated with higher mortality at two years but nearly half of those patients were alive 10 years later.

While PET/MRI and PET/CT had comparable sensitivity for patient-level regional nodal metastases and lesion-level recurrence, the authors of a systematic review noted that PET/MRI had significantly higher accuracy in breast cancer and colorectal cancer staging.

Researchers found that mpMRI was 18 percent more accurate than dual-energy CT (DECT) for T1 staging and 19 percent more accurate for N3 staging of gastric cancer.

Incorporating age, lesion shape and effective atomic number in the venous phase of dual-energy CT (DECT), an emerging model demonstrated a 79.1 percent AUC for differentiating between malignant and benign breast lesions.

In newly issued proposals addressing changes to coverage for Medicare services in 2025, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced its intent to provide coverage of computed tomography colonography (CTC) for Medicare beneficiaries in 2025.

Photon-counting CT enables enhanced fissure visualization and a lower degree of cardiac motion artifacts for lung perfusion imaging at a significantly reduced scan time in contrast to dual-energy CT, according to new research findings.

The AI-powered Heuron ICH software reportedly has an 86 percent sensitivity rate for diagnosing intracranial hemorrhage on computed tomography (CT) scans.

An AI model that includes extracted radiomic features from CT scans more than doubled the sensitivity rate for preoperative prediction of lung cancer recurrence in comparison to traditional TNM staging, according to study findings to be presented at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago.

In comparison to pure solid nodules in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), nodules with a minor ground glass opacity component were associated with over a 38 percent higher rate of recurrence-free survival.

In addition to detecting missed lung nodules on X-rays, the AI-powered Qure.ai lung cancer continuum platform reportedly automates lung nodule measurement on CT scans and facilitates multimodality reporting.

The second-generation version of the VUZE System reportedly offers expanded functionality and incorporation of varied sources of 3D imaging data, including cone-beam CT scans obtained in the OR.

One deep learning model had a 72.4 percent accuracy rate for differentiating between benign and malignant solid pulmonary nodules on non-contrast CT while another deep learning model demonstrated an 87.1 percent AUC for differentiating benign and inflammatory findings.
