AI based lesion-detection software used in daily practice can help identify clinically significant incidental lung nodules on chest x-rays
November 16, 2023
A true positive case in a 72-year-old male with a granuloma on chest x-ray after visiting the neurology outpatient clinic for memory disturbance. A small lung nodule was detected in the left-middle to lower lung field by AI software, with an abnormality score of 26%. Co-existing fibrosis was suspected in the apex of bilateral upper lungs, with an abnormality score of 76%. Image courtesy of Scientific Reports.

CEM comparable to MRI in asymptomatic women
By Amerigo Allegretto
Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is on par with MRI in breast cancer screening for asymptomatic women, according to recent research.
November 15, 2023
A 47-year-old female participant with a suspicious mass noted at screening tomosynthesis and subsequent diagnostic ultrasound was recruited for contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and MRI. (A) No abnormality was noted on the conventional 2D mammogram showing dense breast tissue. A mass (arrows) was clearly observed on (B) the recombined CEM image and (C) the MRI scan. Both images show marked background parenchymal enhancement. Biopsy confirmed a 1.1-cm grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma (estrogen receptor- and progesterone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative). Image courtesy of Radiology.
