Discuss Can CT provide a better map of breast density?
January 21, 2021 -- An international research team used dozens of CT images to map breast density in a January 16 study published in Medical Physics. Their technique could lead to more accurate radiation dose estimates and improved breast cancer risk models.

Discuss PET shows aerobic exercise has little effect on amyloid
January 20, 2021 -- While aerobic exercise is good for the cardiovascular system, PET images show a weekly regimen of this activity does nothing to change the status of beta-amyloid buildup in older adults with elevated levels of the marker for Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published online January 14 in PLOS One.

Discuss FDA proposal to relax 510(k) rules on AI raises eyebrows
January 19, 2021 -- A proposal by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to eliminate 510(k) review for a number of artificial intelligence (AI) software applications is raising eyebrows in the radiology industry. The question is whether the proposal will be implemented after the Trump Administration ends this week.

Discuss AI, radiomics predicts prostate cancer recurrence
January 19, 2021 -- A diagnostic model that incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of radiomics features on multiparametric MRI can predict the likelihood of prostate cancer recurrence prior to surgical treatment, enabling preoperative risk stratification of patients, according to research published in the January issue of EBioMedicine.

Discuss How high a price for incidental lung nodules on CT?
January 19, 2021 -- A new study published January 19 in JAMA Internal Medicine links overtreatment of incidental lung nodules found on CT with more radiation, adverse events, and higher health system costs. However, researchers couldn't determine whether or not it also resulted in earlier cancer diagnosis.
