Video content above is prompted by the following:
- Can you discuss the advantages and limitations of different imaging agents commonly used in identifying oligometastatic disease in prostate cancer, such as gallium-based agents versus non-gallium-based agents?
- Are you aware of any differences in lesion detection rates or staging accuracy between gallium vs non- gallium-based PET imaging agents?

Amid the burgeoning imaging volumes and ongoing radiologist shortage, this author suggests that more active involvement by radiologists in the creation and development of AI models could go a long way.
In the latest episode of his “Interventional Radiology in Focus” series, Mina Makary, MD, discusses the evolution, research and pearls for ablation procedures, and emerging considerations for histotripsy in the realm of interventional oncology.
New research found that the late arterial phase, which accounts for approximately 40 percent of CT radiation dosing in cases involving acute abdominal pain, offered no exclusive findings that had an impact on clinical care.
New research suggests CCTA may provide salient preoperative insights into planning for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) while facilitating similar outcomes as intravascular ultrasound guidance for target-vessel failure.
Perspective and experience enable us to discern a reasonable explanation prior to boarding a rollercoaster of overreaction.
