Erik L. Ridley[email protected]CTAI predicts cardiovascular risk on routine chest CTAn artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm was able to predict patients' risk for future cardiovascular events by quantifying their coronary artery calcium on routine chest CT exams, according to research published online January 29 in Nature Communications.February 2, 2021MRIStudy finds racial disparities in pediatric ED imagingNon-Hispanic Black and Hispanic children are significantly less likely to receive a diagnostic imaging study when visiting an emergency department (ED) than non-Hispanic white patients, according to analysis of over 13 million pediatric ED visits published online January 29 in JAMA Network Open.January 28, 2021BreastWhen should breast cancer survivors discontinue mammo?Older breast cancer survivors who have less than five years of life expectancy should no longer undergo routine surveillance mammography -- even if they have a history of high-risk cancers, according to new guidelines published online January 28 in JAMA Oncology by a multidisciplinary panel.January 27, 2021BreastMirai AI model upgrades breast cancer risk assessmentAn artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm called Mirai can outperform other risk-assessment models for predicting future risk of breast cancer from a mammogram, potentially enabling earlier identification of high-risk women, according to research published online January 27 in Science Translational Medicine.January 27, 2021PACS/VNAEHR integration gives patients better access to imagesIntegrating a dedicated patient image portal with the portal for an electronic health record (EHR) can significantly increase the number of patients who access their medical images, according to a case study published online January 23 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.January 26, 2021CT3D printing may help to uncover secrets of AAOCA3D printing may be able to help in stratifying risk and making surgical decisions for patients with anomalous aortic origin of the coronary arteries (AAOCA), one of the most common causes of sudden cardiac death in children, according to research published online January 21 in Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine.January 26, 2021Advanced VisualizationAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderJanuary 24, 2021MRI3D T2 maps enhance assessment of myocarditis on MRIA free-breathing, 3D whole-heart T2 MRI mapping sequence can efficiently and reproducibly quantify myocardial T2 times in patients with suspected myocarditis, and potentially even detect more cases of cardiac inflammation than standard 2D T2 maps, according to research published online January 19 in Radiology.January 24, 2021CTAI enhances performance of CT lung cancer screeningCombining artificial intelligence (AI) with Lung-RADS can sharply increase specificity in low-dose CT lung cancer screening programs without hurting sensitivity, according to a January 19 study in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.January 21, 2021Molecular ImagingPET identifies tau's origin in Alzheimer's diseaseAn automated PET image analysis method can track the development of tau protein clumps in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, revealing an important clue in how the devastating disease could potentially be treated, according to research published online January 20 in Science Translational Medicine.January 20, 2021Previous PagePage 50 of 393Next PageTop StoriesCTNew benchmark helps monitor cumulative CT radiation doseThe findings highlight the need for systematic dose tracking and rigorous justification of imaging.Radiation Oncology/TherapyStudy questions routine use of radiotherapy after bone surgeryUltrasoundCEUS outshines color Doppler imaging for indeterminate kidney lesionsWomens ImagingWomen's Imaging MinnieCast, Episode 2: Risk-based vs. annual mammography screening, part 1Digital X-RayChest x-rays reveal atherosclerosis in patients undergoing amputations
