Advances in AI: April 2023

Multicenter research revealed that a combined model of clinical factors and ultrasound-based radiomics exhibited greater than a 23 percent higher per patient-level accuracy rate for identifying HER2 breast cancer than a clinical model.

In the third episode of a three-part podcast, Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss the challenges of expanded breast cancer screening amid a backdrop of radiologist shortages and ever-increasing volume on radiology worklists.

Researchers noted the combination of AI and bpMRI had an average AUC of 91 percent for csPCa detection in contrast to 78 percent for unassisted radiologist interpretation in a recent meta-analysis.

Drs. Charles Liu and Jonathan Russin discuss the benefits and potential of fPACT, the alternative to functional MRI.

In a study involving over 24,000 women, two-thirds of whom had dense breasts, adjunctive AI led to a significantly higher rate of cancer detection for breast radiologists with no difference in recall rates.

The use of ultra-high-resolution photon-counting CT in the evaluation of stable chest pain may significantly reduce follow-up tests and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) procedures, possibly resulting in millions in health-care cost savings, according to a cost-effectiveness analysis presented recently at the European Congress of Radiology.
