Radiologists dislike how their profession is portrayed on TV
VIENNA - Radiologists have a very low opinion of how their profession is portrayed on television programs, while patients and technologists believe the TV shows are accurate examples of radiology at work, according to the results of a survey presented on Sunday at ECR 2013.

Ga-68 DOTATOC PET/MRI tops PET/CT for staging neuroendocrine tumors
VIENNA - Researchers from University Hospital Essen in Germany have shown the feasibility of whole-body staging of patients with neuroendocrine tumors with PET/MRI and the radiotracer gallium-68 (Ga-68) DOTATOC, and with greater reliability than PET/CT, in a preliminary study presented Friday at ECR 2013.

Study shows decline in abnormal stress SPECT MPI
Over the past two decades, the frequency and severity of abnormal stress SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) studies have significantly decreased, with the prevalence of abnormal SPECT exams falling from 40.9% to 8.7%, researchers reported in the March 5 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Changing gadolinium-based contrast could boost reactions
Radiology departments and imaging centers that switch their preferred MRI contrast agent should watch for an increase in allergic-like reactions in patients, but the jump could be due to an epidemiological phenomenon rather than actual differences in the products, according to a study in the March issue of Radiology.

Study shows disparities in PET access for NSCLC patients
While PET utilization increased overall among Medicare beneficiaries with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from 1998 through 2007, long-standing disparities in access to the technology actually worsened over the same time period, according to a study published online February 15 in Radiology.

Bright areas on MRI could predict Alzheimer's disease
Researchers trying to develop better tools for predicting who will develop Alzheimer's disease used MRI to detect bright areas in the brain that indicate small-vessel cerebrovascular disease. The technique could be used with PET scans of beta-amyloid levels to predict Alzheimer's, according to a February 18 study in JAMA Neurology.

Imaging shows toll of vascular brain injury
MR and PET images show that vascular brain injury from conditions such as high blood pressure and stroke has a considerably greater influence on cognitive impairment among nondemented older people than beta-amyloid plaque deposits, according to a study published online February 11 in JAMA Neurology.

AI improves x-ray reads for rads with varying experience

AI assistance can improve the detection accuracy of thoracic abnormalities on chest x-rays across radiologists with varying levels of expertise.
December 13, 2023
AI detected a lung mass, a lung nodule, and a small pneumothorax. Without AI assistance, only one thoracic radiologist and one general radiologist detected all abnormalities, whereas with AI assistance, one thoracic radiologist, two general radiologists, and one resident detected all abnormalities. Corresponding coronal and axial CT images show the lung mass (arrows), the lung nodule (white arrowheads), and the small pneumothorax (black arrowheads) that should have been detected on the chest radiograph.
