Jessica Porembka, MD, of the breast imaging division at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, said an ultrasound-first strategy for these lesions in DBT is cost-effective and improves efficiency.
Radiology researchers have developed and validated an automated program for tracking incidental imaging findings. The system facilitates communications between radiologists, patients and primary care providers whenever such findings turn up.
Ron Blankstein, MD, professor of radiology, Harvard Medical School, explains the use of artificial intelligence to detect heart disease in non-cardiac CT exams.
Compared to standard hip-to-waist ratio measurements and BMI, the algorithm identifies significantly more instances of metabolic syndrome and its severity in individual patients.
Researchers at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City have demonstrated fast but fine 3D lumbar image acquisition on MRI using deep learning image reconstruction.
When resident teams included experienced fourth-year trainees, the resident/attending pairs cut overall median report turnaround times by seven minutes versus attending-only efforts.
A population-level study featuring multi-organ MRI has confirmed that problems in any of three major organs—the heart, brain or liver—tend to co-occur with unfavorable findings in either or both of the other two.
Professional consensus supports the use of ultrasound for initial imaging evaluation of patients presenting in the ED with suspected urinary stone disease (USD). However, as of 2018, only 2% of these patients received ultrasound while some 59% had CT.
Sean Fain, PhD, vice chair of radiology and research and a professor of radiology, University of Iowa, discusses how long-COVID lung damage can be tracked using xenon (Xe) gas MRI and quantitative CT at RSNA 2022.
The nuclear imaging isotope shortage of molybdenum-99 may be over now that the sidelined reactor is restarting. ASNC's president says PET and new SPECT technologies helped cardiac imaging labs better weather the storm.
CMS has more than doubled the CCTA payment rate from $175 to $357.13. The move, expected to have a significant impact on the utilization of cardiac CT, received immediate praise from imaging specialists.
