CT images from a 24-year-old woman with history of ventriculopleural shunt placement who presented with chest pain show two small linear hyperattenuating structures (A, arrows), with larger hyperattenuating structure oriented parallel and very close to the rib. The AI algorithm interpreted the finding as a rib fracture. (B) An additional axial image from same exam indicates that the finding relates to the patient’s ventriculopleural shunt (arrow), passing alongside the rib. The radiologist made a correct interpretation upon assessment of the entire exam. Image courtesy of the ARRS.

Mammo AI falls short to ultrasound in screening dense breasts
Mammography plus ultrasound yields better results than AI-enhanced mammography alone when it comes to screening of women with dense breasts.
July 23, 2024
Imaging in a 56-year-old woman with heterogeneously dense breasts (BIRADS C). (A) Left craniocaudal (left) and mediolateral oblique (right) digital mammograms show no abnormality. (B) Left craniocaudal (LCC, top) and left mediolateral oblique (LMLO, bottom) mammograms with retrospectively applied AI (Lunit Insight MMG, version 1.1.7.1; Lunit) show the lesion was given abnormality scores of 97% and 71%, respectively. The color bar indicates pixel-level abnormality scores corresponding to heatmap contour lines. Breast ultrasound performed the same day was considered negative (not shown). (C) Left craniocaudal (left) and mediolateral oblique (right) digital mammograms acquired nine months later show an irregular mass (arrows) in the left breast, which correlates with the heatmap areas scored as 97% and 71% by AI in the earlier screening mammogram (B). The radiopaque round marker denotes the site of the palpable abnormality indicated by the patient. (D) Transverse ultrasound imaging shows an irregular mass (arrow) in the left breast. The patient was treated with breast-conserving surgery, and the mass was proven to be invasive lobular carcinoma. Image courtesy of the RSNA.

Images in a 49-year-old patient originally treated for hormone receptor-positive invasive cancer without preoperative MRI who developed bloody nipple discharge two years after surgery. (A) Left mediolateral oblique mammogram shows new grouped pleomorphic calcification (arrow) adjacent to the previous operation site. (B) Transverse ultrasound image shows a 2.3-cm hypoechoic mass (arrows) with calcifications. (C) Axial contrast-enhanced fat-saturated T1-weighted MRI scan shows an irregular, heterogeneously enhancing mass (arrow) in the left breast, adjacent to the operation site. The final pathologic examination confirmed recurrent invasive ductal carcinoma.
