COVID-19 patients face higher risk of barotrauma
July 7, 2020 -- Patients with COVID-19 who require invasive mechanical ventilation are more likely to experience barotrauma such as pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum than those without the disease, according to research published online July 2 in Radiology. And younger patients with COVID-19 were particularly at risk for these serious events.

Discuss Earlier breast screening benefits women with childhood cancer
July 7, 2020 -- Women who had cancer in childhood treated with chest radiotherapy may strongly benefit from annual breast cancer screening starting in their 20s, according to a study published on July 6 in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Annual screening as early as age 25 could reduce breast cancer deaths in these women by more than 50%.

Discuss Can radiomics improve CT lung cancer screening?
July 7, 2020 -- Two radiomics features on low-dose CT (LDCT) exams in lung cancer screening can be used to identify early-stage lung cancer patients who may be at higher risk for poor survival outcomes, potentially enabling earlier interventions, according to research published online June 29 in Scientific Reports.

Almost 40% COVID-19 patients have PE on CTPA
July 6, 2020 -- Researchers have discovered that 37% of patients with confirmed COVID-19 disease are found to have a pulmonary embolism (PE) on CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA). Their results were published July 2 in Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging.

Discuss Medicaid expansion tied to early breast cancer diagnosis
July 2, 2020 -- Expanded Medicaid coverage was linked to earlier breast cancer diagnosis in a study published on July 1 in JAMA Surgery. Advanced breast cancer diagnoses fell by 3% in states that expanded Medicaid after the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Discuss Adding AI to mpMRI improves breast cancer diagnosis
July 2, 2020 -- Using a deep-learning computer-aided diagnosis algorithm with multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) improves radiologist performance in identifying breast cancer, according to a study published June 29 in Nature.

Discuss ACR, RSNA calls on FDA to hold off on autonomous AI
July 1, 2020 -- Autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms aren't close to being safe enough to replace radiologists, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should hold off for now on developing regulatory pathways for autonomous AI in radiology, according to the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the RSNA.
