#MyRadGirlfriend No. 86: Think before you scoot
Electric scooters are everywhere now, and while they can be a lot of fun, they also can have unintended consequences. One of those is more work for radiologists who read imaging studies from the emergency room -- including Andy, who decides to make a statement in the next installment of #MyRadGirlfriend.

Molecular Imaging
SPECT/CT access unequal across U.S.
At the state level, California, Texas, and Florida had the highest number of facilities in absolute terms.
Example of AI-assisted pulmonary nodule detection and longitudinal volumetric assessment in a 65-year-old woman with peripheral arterial disease, a 24-pack-year smoking history, emphysema, and a family history of lung cancer. An incidental 8.5-mm right lower lobe pulmonary nodule is identified at CT angiography of the abdomen in July 2022 but does not receive follow-up. Subsequent imaging demonstrates interval growth, and CT-guided biopsy confirms stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. Contrast-enhanced axial chest CT images obtained on February 2, 2024, before robotic-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy, show a 12.1-mm spiculated right lower lobe pulmonary nodule. (A) Conventional contrast-enhanced axial chest CT image without AI assistance shows a 12.1-mm spiculated right lower lobe pulmonary nodule. (B) Corresponding CT image with AI-assisted pulmonary nodule detection, automated segmentation, and quantitative nodule assessment identifies a solid pulmonary nodule (nodule #1) measuring 13 × 8 (11) mm, with a volume of 739 mm3, a 45% volumetric increase compared with the previous contrast-enhanced chest CT performed on October 9, 2023 (510 mm3), and an estimated volume doubling time (VDT) of 216 days. (C) AI-generated longitudinal nodule analysis displays automated segmentation of the current (February 2, 2024) and previous (October 9, 2023) CT examinations, 3D nodule reconstruction, and quantitative volumetric assessment for longitudinal follow-up. The AI interface is displayed in the original software language (Dutch).

AI cuts chest CT reporting time
Detection and extent of BI-RADS suspicious calcifications (amorphous, coarse heterogeneous, fine pleomorphic, and fine linear or fine linear branching) at axial photon-counting CT (PCCT) versus full-field digital mammography (first three images, craniocaudal view; last image, mediolateral oblique view). Calcifications found on mammography showed only partial visualization at ultrahigh-resolution PCCT (0.2 mm), while amorphous calcifications could not be distinguished from image noise. Corresponding abnormal enhancement was clearly depicted on contrast-enhanced PCCT images.
