Convolutional neural network-enabled segmentation of brain MRI offered a 25.7 percent higher specificity than a radiomic model for differentiating radionecrosis and metastatic progression in patients treated with stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases.

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.

New research suggests that AI-powered assessment of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) for short-term breast cancer risk may help address racial disparities with detection and shortcomings of traditional mammography in women with dense breasts.

In the second episode of a three-part podcast, Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss recent studies published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that suggested moving to more of a risk-adapted model for mammography screening.

Do we get mired in the rut of generational grumbling, or do we reframe resentments into perspective of what we have overcome?

The Nanox.ARC X-ray system, which offers 3D tomosynthesis capabilities, can now be utilized for pulmonary, intra-abdominal and paranasal imaging.
