"Non-Mandatory New Technologies" and Other Radiologist Fantasies

Emerging trends with artificial intelligence and cloud technology may reinvent efficiency and scalability with radiology workflows.

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.

Offering a variety of AI-enabled tools to facilitate radiology workflow efficiency, the BlueSeal MRI system is reportedly the first wide bore, helium-free 1.5T MRI platform in the field.

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.

While a large retrospective study found that interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) were evident on 1.7 percent of computed tomography (CT) scans, researchers found that 43.9 percent of ILAs, including fibrotic ILAs, were not reported.

For patients undergoing curative treatment for lung cancer, coronary artery calcification scoring via computed tomography has a 97 percent likelihood of determining their risk for major cardiovascular events, according to a new meta-analysis.
