Diagnostic Imaging's Weekly Scan: Aug. 2, 2021, to Aug. 6, 2021

Recently published research projected that 103,000 future cases of radiation-induced cancer would result from 93 million computed tomography (CT) exams performed in the United States in 2023.

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

The Nanox.ARC X system reportedly provides enhanced 3D imaging for a variety of indications, ranging from pulmonary imaging and intra-abdominal views to musculoskeletal assessment.

KA Imaging President and Chief Executive Officer Amol Karnick and Chief Technology Officer Karim S. Karim, Ph.D., offer insights into current X-ray imaging trends, as well as opportunities for innovation.

In comparison to a model based on clinicopathological risk factors, a CT radiomics-based machine learning model offered greater than a 10 percent higher AUC for predicting five-year recurrence-free survival in patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

For patients with microsatellite instability-high colon cancer, distribution-based clinical lymph node staging (dCN) with computed tomography (CT) offered nearly double the accuracy rate of clinical lymph node staging in a recent study.
