Referring clinicians failed to acknowledge over one-third of abnormal imaging results in an outpatient setting, even when a computerized system designed to alert them was used, according to Dr. Hardeep Singh and colleagues at Baylor College of Medicine.
Referring clinicians failed to acknowledge over one-third of abnormal imaging results in an outpatient setting, even when a computerized system designed to alert them was used, according to Dr. Hardeep Singh and colleagues at Baylor College of Medicine.
Researchers analyzed 1017 outcomes of abnormal imaging alerts in an ambulatory multispecialty clinic that were transmitted to providers via the electronic medical record. Over one-third of these cases were not acknowledged by the referring clinicians, while 4% of critical imaging results remained unnoticed for about a month (J Am Med Inform Assoc 2007;14[4]:459-466).

December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
