ACR Collaborative Model Achieves 20 Percent Improvement in PI-QUAL Scores for Prostate MRI
Using a learning network model to discuss challenges and share insights among radiology departments from five different organizations, researchers noted that 87 percent of audited prostate MRI exams had PI-QUAL scores > 4 at the conclusion of the collaborative program.
MRI-Based Deep Learning Algorithm Shows Comparable Detection of csPCa to Radiologists
In a study involving over 1,000 visible prostate lesions on biparametric MRI, a deep learning algorithm detected 96 percent of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in comparison to a 98 percent detection rate for an expert genitourinary radiologist.
Study Finds High Concordance Between AI and Radiologists for Cervical Spine Fractures on CT
Researchers found a 98.3 percent concordance between attending radiology reports and AI assessments for possible cervical spine fractures on CT, according to new research presented at the 2024 ARRS Annual Meeting.
FDA Clears AI-Powered Qualitative Perfusion Mapping for Cone-Beam CT
Reportedly validated in more than 10 clinical trials, the AngioFlow perfusion imaging software enables timely identification of brain regions with cerebral blood flow reduction and those with significant hypoperfusion.
Can a CT-Based Radiomics Model Bolster Detection of Malignant Thyroid Nodules?
A computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics model that includes 28 radiomic features showed significantly higher accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity than conventional CT in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules, according to newly published research.
Breast MRI and Dense Breasts: A Closer Look at Early Findings from a New Prospective Trial
Supplemental breast MRI had a cancer detection rate (CDR) of 20/1000 and a positive predictive value (PPV) of 50 percent, according to preliminary findings from a prospective trial involving women with heterogeneously or very dense breasts.
For over 1,200 women with a previous history of breast cancer, interim findings from a prospective trial suggest that adding contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) enhances detection of second malignancies with a limited increase in recalls.
