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.
There are no standards requiring radiologists to report on the presence of BACs, even though up to half of referring providers have indicated they would prefer to be made aware of the finding.
Breast artery calcifications are already visible when radiologists review mammograms, but nothing typically happens with them. Researchers aimed to see if AI could help translate those findings into an easy-to-understand cardiovascular risk score.
Despite the great progress that has been made toward the clinical implementation of AI, new data caution against trusting the technology as a single reader in certain settings.
A number of those initially infected with the virus showed ground-glass opacities on their scans, particularly individuals who were not admitted to the ICU, researchers reported in the Lancet.
Healthcare institutions are encountering a growing number of gadolinium deposition disease cases. One expert recently discussed why radiologists should use current data to shed light on the topic and minimize their liability risk.
A significant portion of people who undergo a CT scan or x-ray after an electric scooter accident had injuries, according to a study presented at the 2019 RSNA annual meeting.
Bypassing the blood-brain barrier has long been a challenge for clinicians, but focused ultrasound can open specific pathways and help deliver targeted treatments to those suffering from the disease.
Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy is immediately effective and requires a shorter hospital stay compared to traditional methods such as deep brain stimulation.
Arteriovenous malformations in the brain are best obliterated with surgery following preoperative embolization. However, radiosurgery is a considerably less costly option that may suffice in some cases.
A new startup—Hyperfine—and its visionary leader Jonathan Rothberg are creating a new, portable MRI machine they believe can revolutionize the way doctors think about the technology.
A group of U.S. researchers analyzed literature on the topic, summarizing imaging findings to help radiologists identify signs of vaping-related lung injuries. The results were published Oct. 8 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.
