Established clinical guidelines hold that patients presenting with ankle issues should not receive advanced imaging ahead of standard radiography. New research shows a substantial proportion of ordering clinicians sending these patients straight to MRI anyway.

Upon training a machine learning model to analyze ultrasound images of the neck, researchers tested their algorithm and have found it correctly flagged likely cancerous nodules of the thyroid gland at a 97% clip.

Testing AI’s ability to detect carotid artery disease on ultrasound, U.K. researchers have found their algorithm achieved 90% accuracy, along with 87% sensitivity and 82% specificity, at the task.

Supporting telehealth, reforming Medicare, fixing the prior authorization process—these are three of five goals the American Medical Association is pursuing in an expansive new program.

During one surge, the hospital’s CT volumes spiked to 55% higher than pre-pandemic levels—no doubt due to heavy demand for advanced chest imaging.

COVID-19 set back screening mammography further than any other category of breast care, dropping schedule adherence during infection peaks to 36% of pre-pandemic rates.

Florida-based Strategic Radiology announced the addition June 1, naming 11-radiologist Radiology Consultants of Lynchburg in Virginia as its 32nd member practice overall and its second in the Old Dominion state.
