Women prefer mammography surveillance for low-risk DCIS
August 8, 2023 -- Active surveillance with mammography is the go-to choice for most women with low-risk ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), suggest Dutch findings published on 4 August in the European Journal of Cancer. Read More

MRI radiomics features predicts breast cancer tumor expressions
August 7, 2023 -- Multiparametric MRI and radiomics can help predict distinct human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expressions of breast cancer, a research team from the Curie Institute in Paris has reported. Read More

Using AI with prior LDCT exams improves lung nodule assessment
August 4, 2023 -- A deep-learning algorithm that incorporates information from prior low-dose CT (LDCT) exams is more effective for estimating three-year malignancy risk of pulmonary nodules than models that use a single CT exam alone, Dutch researchers have found. Read More

Swedish team advocates AI risk assessment for breast screening
August 3, 2023 -- Using AI software to determine if a screening mammography exam can be read by one breast radiologist instead of two can perform comparably to double reading of all mammograms, according to a new study published on 1 August in The Lancet Oncology. Read More

Radiation dose levels in cervical, lumbar spine CT raise concerns
August 2, 2023 -- Failure to specify the medical indications in the dose archiving and communication system can increase scan lengths, particularly in cervical and lumbar spine CT exams, a survey of 48 hospitals and clinics in France has revealed. Read More

Zurich group casts light on contrast use in photon-counting CT
August 2, 2023 -- Photon-counting CT enhances image quality for coronary CT angiography exams while also reducing contrast use by up to 40%, Swiss researchers have stated. The technology's higher contrast-to-noise ratio properties are of particular note, they said. Read More

Which radiology AI tools are the Dutch using clinically?
August 1, 2023 -- More than a third of radiology departments are using AI in clinical practice, particularly for lung-nodule detection on CT, stroke diagnosis, and bone age prediction, a survey conducted in the Netherlands has found. Read More

Deep learning aids prediction of myelin maturation age
August 1, 2023 -- A deep-learning model helps radiologists accurately predict pediatric myelin maturation age on brain MRIs -- and it could help reduce the time needed to complete this task, Swiss scientists have reported in an article published on 26 July in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence.
