ED patients more confident in diagnosis based on CT
Emergency department (ED) patients with abdominal pain are far more confident in their diagnosis when a CT scan is used as part of their workup, according to a study in Annals of Emergency Medicine. However, the patients knew surprisingly little about the risks of ionizing radiation.

Second-reader CAD improves VC sensitivity
Computer-aided detection (CAD) works best in virtual colonoscopy when human readers do their job first, according to a new study. The use of CAD as a second reader improved both per-patient and per-polyp detection, while running CAD concurrently with the initial read was less effective.

Fecal immunochemical testing between colonoscopies reduces risk
Individuals with a personal or family history of colorectal cancer can cut their risk of dying from the disease by undergoing annual fecal immunochemical testing between the standard 10-year cycles of colonoscopy screening, according to a new study in Gastroenterology.

'Translucent view' may aid detection of adenomas at VC
"Translucent view" polyp rendering is inadequate for primary diagnosis in virtual colonoscopy, but it can help distinguish adenomas from hyperplastic lesions and other likely benign findings, say researchers from Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, NY.

Lung cancer outweighs breast cancer risk in chest CT
CHICAGO - Even in women, who face higher risks of cancer than men from chest CT scans, the risk of lung cancer far outweighs that of breast cancer, according to researchers from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.

Concurrent lung CAD equivalent to second read
CHICAGO - Reading lung CT scans concurrently with computer-aided detection (CAD) is much faster and about as accurate as first reading the images unaided, and then following up with CAD, concludes a study presented on Wednesday at the 2010 RSNA meeting.

VC in Medicare patients doesn't lead to more imaging
CHICAGO - Older patients undergoing virtual colonoscopy do not require significantly more follow-up imaging than younger screening patients, concludes a new study from New York University School of Medicine in New York City.

Automated PE protocol tool optimizes contrast use, image quality
CHICAGO - Individualized contrast media protocols can cut the use of contrast and the radiation dose while optimizing contrast attenuation for suspected pulmonary embolism (PE), according to South Carolina researchers who presented research on Sunday at the RSNA conference.

Simple calcium counting at chest CT predicts mortality risk
A simple counting method that assesses coronary artery calcium (CAC) from low-dose chest CT scans can be used to predict an individual's risk of death from cardiac disease, according to study results published in the November issue of Radiology.

Images of a 39-year-old who underwent screening mammography. Right craniocaudal (left) and mediolateral oblique (middle) views from preoperative mammography show suspicious grouped fine pleomorphic calcifications (arrows). After biopsy showed ductal carcinoma of situ (DCIS), patient underwent breast-conserving surgery, yielding final diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (intermediate grade, hormone receptor positive). (Right) Screenshot of an output of a commercial AI tool applied to preoperative mammography. AI detected right breast lesion with score of 95% on both views (concentric colored circles). Present study’s reviewing radiologist deemed AI marking to correspond with site of DCIS.

Could AI scoring help with managing DCIS?
Axial contrast-enhanced CT scan in a 28-year-old premenopausal woman shows an incidentally detected solid-appearing left ovarian lesion (solid arrow) anterior to the uterus (U), associated with trace ascites in the right adnexa and cul de sac (dashed arrows). At pathologic analysis, this was shown to be ovarian dysgerminoma. Two readers misdiagnosed this lesion, one as a leiomyoma and one as an ovarian fibroma.
