AuntMinnieTV: Study takes aim at physician self-referral

This week's AuntMinnieTV segment tackles one of the most controversial issues in healthcare -- the use of imaging technology by non-radiologist physicians who conduct scans in their own offices.

There are several criteria that any imaging-based screening test must have in order to get traction in today's cost-conscious healthcare environment: The test should be cheap, reimbursable by Medicare, and clinically necessary for a fairly broad segment of the population. If providers can offer the new test without having to buy new equipment, well, that's just icing on the cake.

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.

Clinicians, beware: CT diagnostic accuracy varies by adnexal lesion type

MRI reveals effects of risk factors on vulnerable brain regions

By Kate Madden Yee

MRI shows the effects particular risk factors such as diabetes, air pollution, and frequency of alcohol use have on "higher-order" brain regions located in the cerebral cortex, researchers have found.

To the left of the figure, the red-yellow color denotes the regions that degenerate earlier than the rest of the brain and are vulnerable to Alzheimer’s disease. These brain areas are higher-order regions that process and combine information coming from our different senses. To the right of the figure, each dot represents the brain data from one UK Biobank participant. The overall curve shows that, in these particularly fragile regions of the brain, there is accelerated degeneration with age. Image courtesy of Gwenaëlle Douaud, PhD, and Jordi Manuello, PhD.
