Crystal PhendCTCT angiography detects significant coronary lesions prior to valve surgeryConventional coronary angiography is recommended for patients scheduled for valve surgery, but 64-slice CT may be a better option for ruling out coronary lesions, according to researchers from the Netherlands.June 7, 2006MRITechnology, guidelines cement role for breast MR in cancer screeningMRI is more sensitive in identifying breast cancer than mammography, but its role in screening has been controversial and its diagnostic use varied. Better guidelines are needed to increase the modality's value in breast imaging, according to a presenter at the 2006 American Society of Breast Disease (ASBD) symposium in Las Vegas.May 25, 2006CT64-slice CT reliable as first-line test before coronary angiographyIn two of the first studies comparing generations of CT systems, 64-slice scanners appear to be the most accurate in detecting coronary vessel obstruction. The studies, presented at the 2006 American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting in Atlanta, found clinically significant differences among 12-, 16-, and 64-slice scanners.May 24, 2006Page 1 of 1Top StoriesAIRadiology dominates thirty years of FDA AI device approvalsThe total annual authorization volume increased from a mean of 1.8 per year between 1995 and 2014 to 264 per year between 2023 and 2025.Radiologic TechnologistPetition seeks to increase number of attempts for taking ARRT examLegislationSocieties applaud introduction of Patients First ActEconomics2027 MPFS proposed rule would lift radiology reimbursementMRIMRI could replace DRE for prostate cancer staging
![A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-14-radiology-mammogram-ai-auto-bias.H0bYO8QlWs.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
