CT lung screening uptake lags in rural areas
U.S. regions with the greatest proportion of smokers eligible for CT lung cancer screening often provide the least access to the exam -- underscoring the maldistribution of CT screening centers in the country, according to an article published in the April issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Adult hospitals overuse CT for appendicitis in kids
Children with suspected appendicitis were nearly three times as likely to undergo a CT exam at a nonpediatric facility than at a pediatric hospital in recent study, published online in the Journal of Surgical Research. Ultrasound might have provided a radiation-free alternative to CT, the researchers noted.

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.
