Dutch imaging vendor Pie Medical Imaging presented the new version of its CAAS Quantitative Coronary Analysis for Research software (CAAS QCA-R) at the American College of Cardiology meeting in Orlando, FL, earlier this month.

The CAAS QCA-R software offers automatic contour detection of the coronary arteries and analysis of its dimensions, according to the Maastricht, Netherlands-based Pie. In the new release, the CAAS QCA-R package has been extended with functionalities to evaluate the effectiveness of drug-eluting stents, allowing the analysis of the proximal, distal, and stented segment.

Other improvements include optimized multiple subsegment analysis, expanded subsegmental data analysis, and floating licensing, the company said.

CT images from a 24-year-old woman with history of ventriculopleural shunt placement who presented with chest pain show two small linear hyperattenuating structures (A, arrows), with larger hyperattenuating structure oriented parallel and very close to the rib. The AI algorithm interpreted the finding as a rib fracture. (B) An additional axial image from same exam indicates that the finding relates to the patient’s ventriculopleural shunt (arrow), passing alongside the rib. The radiologist made a correct interpretation upon assessment of the entire exam. Image courtesy of the ARRS.

Mammo AI falls short to ultrasound in screening dense breasts
By Amerigo Allegretto
Mammography plus ultrasound yields better results than AI-enhanced mammography alone when it comes to screening of women with dense breasts.
July 23, 2024
Imaging in a 56-year-old woman with heterogeneously dense breasts (BIRADS C). (A) Left craniocaudal (left) and mediolateral oblique (right) digital mammograms show no abnormality. (B) Left craniocaudal (LCC, top) and left mediolateral oblique (LMLO, bottom) mammograms with retrospectively applied AI (Lunit Insight MMG, version 1.1.7.1; Lunit) show the lesion was given abnormality scores of 97% and 71%, respectively. The color bar indicates pixel-level abnormality scores corresponding to heatmap contour lines. Breast ultrasound performed the same day was considered negative (not shown). (C) Left craniocaudal (left) and mediolateral oblique (right) digital mammograms acquired nine months later show an irregular mass (arrows) in the left breast, which correlates with the heatmap areas scored as 97% and 71% by AI in the earlier screening mammogram (B). The radiopaque round marker denotes the site of the palpable abnormality indicated by the patient. (D) Transverse ultrasound imaging shows an irregular mass (arrow) in the left breast. The patient was treated with breast-conserving surgery, and the mass was proven to be invasive lobular carcinoma. Image courtesy of the RSNA.

AI improves evaluations of knee osteoarthritis on x-rays
By Will Morton
A commercially available AI algorithm improved the performance of junior radiologists when grading knee osteoarthritis on x-rays.
July 9, 2024
An example of the study platform as seen by a reader receiving assistance from the AI tool. On the left is the overlay generated by the AI tool. On the right is the grading panel. Note that the grading fields are prefilled with the outputs of the AI tool. In this study, the left knee was to be graded. When the right was to be graded, the grading panel was on the left. The size of some user interface elements, primarily text and buttons, have been enhanced to improve legibility. JSN = joint space narrowing, KL = Kellgren-Lawrence, OST = osteophytes, PA = posteroanterior, SCL = subchondral sclerosis. Image and caption courtesy of Radiology.
