Google AI accurately assesses CT lung screening scans
May 21, 2019 -- An artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by Google can assess cancer risk on CT lung cancer screening studies as well as, or even better than, experienced radiologists -- potentially enabling automated evaluation of these exams, according to research published online March 20 in Nature Medicine.

Discuss Head CT offers low diagnostic yield for fainting
May 21, 2019 -- More than half of all patients who faint still undergo head CT despite a diagnostic yield of less than 3% for the exam, according to an article published in the May issue of Academic Emergency Medicine. Researchers from Canada say it's high time to cut back on using the test for most patients.

Discuss IMV: PET/CT drives PET scan volume to new heights
May 20, 2019 -- Procedure volume in the PET market hit the highest level ever in the U.S., with adoption of PET/CT scanners mainly responsible for driving growth. More than 2 million PET scans were performed in the U.S. in 2018, according to a new market research report by IMV Medical Information Division.

Discuss MRI shows brain changes from cannabis use
May 20, 2019 -- The use of even small amounts of cannabis can cause changes in the brains of adolescents, according to recent studies using MRI. The findings indicate that researchers should pay close attention to increasing cannabis use, especially in vulnerable populations, according to a presentation last week at the Society of Magnetic Resonance Radiographers & Technologists (SMRT) meeting.

Discuss Previous test scores predict success on ABR Core Exam
May 20, 2019 -- Past performance is no guarantee of future results in the world of investing, but things may be different for radiology residents taking the American Board of Radiology (ABR) Core Exam. A new survey of residents who took the exam found that scores on previous tests were a good predictor of who would pass.

Discuss 3D MRI captures changes to fetal head during birth
May 17, 2019 -- Researchers from France have used 3D MRI to visualize changes to the shape of the fetal brain and skull during the second stage of labor. The images revealed that fetal heads may experience greater stress than previously imagined, according to an article published online on May 15 in PLOS One.
