AI may help cut back on overutilization of CT for PE
August 8, 2019 -- An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm can predict -- from electronic medical record data -- if a patient is likely to have a pulmonary embolism (PE) prior to receiving CT pulmonary angiography, potentially avoiding unnecessary scans, according to research published online August 7 in JAMA Network Open.

Discuss Biennial follow-up exams prove safe for CT lung screening
August 8, 2019 -- Biennial CT lung cancer screening is a safe alternative to annual screening, say researchers from Italy. They found that both approaches led to similar reductions in cancer and all-cause mortality in a new analysis of the Multicentric Italian Lung Detection trial published in the September issue of the European Journal of Cancer.

Discuss USPSTF again dismisses pancreatic cancer screening
August 6, 2019 -- The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has reaffirmed its prior decision to recommend against imaging-based screening for pancreatic cancer in asymptomatic individuals, in a recommendation statement published online August 6 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Discuss Brain abnormalities on CT, MRI indicate severe Zika
August 1, 2019 -- Structural abnormalities visible on the brain MRI and CT scans of infants with the Zika virus had a significant association with severe clinical outcomes, especially in those initially affected by the virus during the first trimester of pregnancy, according to a study published online July 31 in JAMA Network Open.

Discuss CT for hematuria may increase cancer risk, costs
July 30, 2019 -- The diagnostic advantages of using CT to evaluate patients with blood in the urine, or hematuria, may be offset by a bevy of downsides, including increases in patient costs and risk of cancer from radiation exposure, according to a study published July 29 in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Discuss Why are some CCTA scans ineligible for FFR-CT analysis?
July 29, 2019 -- A significant proportion of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scans has been deemed ineligible for analysis with fractional flow reserve CT (FFR-CT) in recent studies. An international team of researchers investigated the underlying causes behind this issue in an article published online July 23 in Radiology.

July 22, 2019 -- Positive scores on CT coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans were strongly associated with an increased risk of heart disease and all-cause mortality in young adults in a new study, published online July 19 in JAMA Network Open. CT CAC testing could help direct these individuals to preventive therapy, researchers say.
