Diagnostic Imaging's Weekly Scan: July 26, 2021, to July 30, 2021

For those without low skeletal muscle mass on CT and myosteatosis, obese patients have a 23 percent lower risk of death than non-obese patients after undergoing curative resection for non-small cell lung cancer, according to newly published research.

An interview with two experts to discuss newly released guidance for using standardized MRI protocols for patients with this condition.

For patients previously assessed with LI-RADS LR-4 and LR-M presentations based on MRI or CT findings, the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound led to 30 percent of these patients having LR-5 assessments definitive for hepatocellular carcinoma.

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

Emerging research suggests that a deep learning model may offer 92 percent sensitivity in lung tumor detection on CT scans and up to a 59 percent reduction in tumor segmentation time.

For patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), early changes with respect to decreased intra-network connectivity involving the default mode network or salience network may aid in differentiating between the development of Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, according to new MRI research.
