Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, with a five-year survival rate of only 44% if caught early, dropping down to 3% if it metastasizes. This is largely due to its ability to elude detection.
The CDC estimates that over 6 million people in the U.S. struggle with OUD, and prior research has indicated that only 20% receive treatment for the disorder.
Patients with asymmetries on CEM typically are recalled for additional views, ultrasound and occasionally MRI. But the extra workup might not be necessary.
Paul Zei, MD, discusses late-breaking data from the REAL-AF Registry, which looked at the short- and long-term outcomes of radiofrequency ablation in paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation.
Researchers developed an advanced AI model capable of extracting measurements from unprocessed CT images in seconds. It then uses those data to evaluate the patient's mortality risk if they underwent TAVR.
Although DBT exams are proven to identify more difficult to detect cancers, especially among women with dense breasts, they also include significantly more images than standard 2D mammograms.
