Study confirms: Digitalmammo lengthens read time
Researchers at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston have confirmed what mammographers have long suspected: Digital screening mammograms may take twice as long to read as film.
Dr. Tamara Miner Haygood and colleagues clocked four radiologists as they interpreted 268 digital and 189 screen-film mammograms. They compared interpretation times for such variables as BI-RADS classification or availability of older soft- or hard-display comparative studies. Researchers also noted individual radiologists’ modus operandi. They found that it took all readers an average of four minutes to interpret digital screening mammograms but only slightly more than two minutes to read film studies. They published their findings in the January issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
