Mob rule: VC results from 'crowdsourcing' competitive with CAD
Can computer workers without medical training distinguish true polyps from false ones as effectively as virtual colonoscopy computer-aided detection (CAD) software? Actually, they do almost as well as CAD -- and sometimes better -- according to a study of Web-based "crowdsourcing" applied to polyp classification.

As lung cancer evolves, so must radiologists' decisions
Today's lung cancer isn't your grandfather's squamous cell carcinoma. The new reality of lung cancer makes diagnosis and management more challenging than ever, and the radiologist must adapt accordingly, according to Dr. Jeffrey Galvin from the University of Maryland.

Stress dynamic myocardial perfusion CT a 'viable alternative'
Dual-source CT can compete with MRI and SPECT in the performance of sophisticated cardiac scans that combine anatomic and functional imaging for a comprehensive assessment of patients with suspected coronary artery disease, say researchers from Spain and the U.S.

JACC: Questions remain about cardiac radiation's link to cancer
There are still no strong data linking the use of ionizing radiation in cardiac imaging to the development of cancer, though several studies have found that higher radiation exposure may increase the risk of developing cancer, concludes a paper published online January 30 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Follow-up protocol performs well in CT lung screening
Researchers reported good results with a protocol for working up patients with nodules found on CT lung screening, according to research in the February American Journal of Roentgenology. The algorithm produced low false-positive rates, and could make the establishment of large-scale CT screening programs more feasible.

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.
