What is the most precise code or bundle or packages of codes? What is the absolute most precise citation? Jeff Majchrzak will reveal all the references, resources, and tools you need for precise coding, plus how to find them fast.

F-18 FDG and Ga-68 FAPI-46 images of a 51-year-old woman with adenocarcinoma with lepidic growth pattern in right upper lobe. (A) Maximum-intensity-projection PET images. The lesion had F-18 FDG uptake below blood pool level but was strongly Ga-68 FAPI-46-positive. CT-guided biopsy led to pathologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, and the patient was treated by stereotactic body radiation therapy because of functional inoperability.

NIH: Occupational radiation dose to RTs needs careful monitoring

By Kate Madden Yee

Occupational doses to radiologic technologists imparted by assistance with fluoroscopically-guided interventional procedures are generally low, but they do need careful monitoring, a team of National Institute of Health (NIH) researchers has found.

Vision transformer AI model boosts PET/CT imaging of cancer

A vision transformer AI model outperformed convolutional neural networks when classifying tumors on PET/CT images as benign or malignant.

Predictions and Grad-CAMs of ViT-based models on sample PET/CT, PET, and CT test images from the “positive” class. ViT was fine-tuned using training data for each modality. The bounding boxes depicted in the figure indicate malignant lesions. The top row of the Grad-CAMs shows important areas for “positive” predictions, and the bottom row shows areas for “negative” predictions. Image courtesy of Scientific Reports.
