Diagnostic screening programs help catch cancer, abnormalities or other diseases before they reach an advanced stage, saving lives and healthcare costs. Screening programs include, lung, breast, prostate, and cervical cancer, among many others.
The COlorectal Cancer detection with AI, or COCA, model is a cost-effective, scalable solution that turns routine CT scans into opportunistic exams that can be used to proactively identify CRC.
Two respected radiology organizations have issued a stark warning on the new recommendations, stating that they risk confusing patients and “may contribute to thousands of additional breast cancer deaths each year.”
New findings from a large CT lung cancer screening dataset reveal that a substantial number of patients have significant incidental findings visible on their scans.
Decreased screening rates among different subgroups highlight the ongoing need for outreach strategies that target vulnerable populations, experts contend.
Social vulnerability index scores account for factors like socioeconomic status, household composition, disability, minority status, language, housing type and transportation.
Researchers found that cancer risk in premenopausal women with fatty breasts at initial imaging nearly doubled if an increase in density was observed during their second and third mammograms.
This image gallery shows examples from various breast imaging modalities, including digital breast tomosynthesis, ultrasound and breast MRI, in addition to clinical presentations of breast cancer and other pathologies.
A new artificial intelligence system can detect active tuberculosis on chest radiographs with accuracy comparable to radiologists, a recent paper in Radiology reports.
Experts compared the cortical thickness of three bones—the radius, tibia and second metatarsal—of 200 volunteers who had undergone prior bone mineral density measurements to evaluate the ultrasound method’s accuracy.
Nearly 20% of the women included in the study did not complete their follow-up imaging at all, and out of the 3,648 women who did adhere to additional imaging, 23.3% delayed their exams beyond the recommended 60-day period.
