The American College of Radiology criticized a study by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality that found current noninvasive imaging cannot replace biopsy to exclude or confirm breast cancer.
The American College of Radiology criticized a study by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality that found current noninvasive imaging cannot replace biopsy to exclude or confirm breast cancer.
The report, Effectiveness of noninvasive diagnostic tests for breast abnormalities, stated that the accuracy of scintimammography, PET, ultrasound, and MRI is suboptimal compared with biopsy.
Officials in the ACR said that breast imagers are well acquainted with the protocol regarding a suspicious mammographic finding, which generally calls for biopsy. The college also expressed concern that the report would mislead women into foregoing additional imaging after an inconclusive screening mammogram.
Can Generative AI Facilitate Simulated Contrast Enhancement for Prostate MRI?
January 14th 2025Deep learning synthesis of contrast-enhanced MRI from non-contrast prostate MRI sequences provided an average multiscale structural similarity index of 70 percent with actual contrast-enhanced prostate MRI in external validation testing from newly published research.
Can MRI Have an Impact with Fertility-Sparing Treatments for Endometrial and Cervical Cancers?
January 9th 2025In a literature review that includes insights from recently issued guidelines from multiple European medical societies, researchers discuss the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in facilitating appropriate patient selection for fertility-sparing treatments to address early-stage endometrial and cervical cancer.
