Here's what to expect this week on Diagnostic Imaging.
In this week’s preview, here are some highlights of what you can expect to see coming soon:
Coronary artery disease affects more than 3 million Americans every year, and it has a number of risk factors. Historically, coronary CTA has been used to assess and provide details about a patient’s atherosclerosis. New evidence is out this week, revealing that not all risk factors are equal, nor do they act on body in the same way. Look for details later this week about the impact of these factors.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, most attention has been paid to the pulmonary, cardiovascular, neurological, and gastrointestinal impacts of the virus. But, investigators are now learning that the effects of infection go further – it can affect vision. This week, look for coverage of how COVID-19 can impact the eyes and how it presents on imaging.

Thrombectomy, stents, or anti-thrombotic medication are typically used to treat patients who are suffering from acute ischemic stroke. But, providers can often face questions about making the right decision. In Radiology, investigators from the University of California at San Francisco published their study results, showing that integrating intra-procedural 3T MRI into acute ischemic stroke treatment can effectively guide decision-making. Look for details later this week.

New Study Examines Short-Term Consistency of Large Language Models in Radiology
November 22nd 2024While GPT-4 demonstrated higher overall accuracy than other large language models in answering ACR Diagnostic in Training Exam multiple-choice questions, researchers noted an eight percent decrease in GPT-4’s accuracy rate from the first month to the third month of the study.
FDA Grants Expanded 510(k) Clearance for Xenoview 3T MRI Chest Coil in GE HealthCare MRI Platforms
November 21st 2024Utilized in conjunction with hyperpolarized Xenon-129 for the assessment of lung ventilation, the chest coil can now be employed in the Signa Premier and Discovery MR750 3T MRI systems.
New Study Examines Agreement Between Radiologists and Referring Clinicians on Follow-Up Imaging
November 18th 2024Agreement on follow-up imaging was 41 percent more likely with recommendations by thoracic radiologists and 36 percent less likely on recommendations for follow-up nuclear imaging, according to new research.
