Researchers reported that the artificial intelligence system was able to interpret more than 114,000 screening mammograms using a reading protocol with high sensitivity and specificity.

Leslee Shaw, PhD, director of the Blavatnik Family Women’s Health Research Institute at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York and former president of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) and the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC), explains the role of cardiac computed tomography (CT) in the recent 2021 chest pain guidelines.

In a statement released on April 14, MITA cautioned that the coverage decision will “severely limit patient access” to amyloid PET diagnostics and anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies treatment.

A model that can achieve accuracy in line with that of radiologists when labeling open-access datasets could be a key factor to overcoming limitations of artificial intelligence implementation, researchers explained in Nature Communications.

The increase may be an unintended result of a cut in DXA reimbursement rates in 2007, a MedPage Today article suggests. 

These findings underscore the need for better implementation of shared decision-making (SDM) models, as well as more thorough counseling documentation, as low-dose CT (LDCT) lung screen coverage is dependent on these factors, experts suggested.

Researchers revealed that less than 1% of more than 46,000 patients took advantage of online self-scheduling tools.

In participants who reported concern about their subjective memory, higher white matter hyperintensity volumes were observed and those individuals exhibited 174% faster cognitive decline than their peers.
