DINOv2 achieved higher sensitivity than DBT-DINO across most false-positive thresholds. <strong>(B)</strong> Detection rates of DBT-DINO and DINOv2 for lesions that were ultimately found to be benign (n = 70) and lesions that were found to be cancerous (n = 66). Error bars represent 95% CIs estimated via patient-level bootstrapping with 1000 repetitions. Both models showed similar detection rates for cancerous lesions, whereas DINOv2 detected more benign lesions than DBT-DINO. <strong>(C)</strong> Example bounding box predictions for DBT-DINO and DINOv2 on the detection test set. Each image is a single two-dimensional section from a three-dimensional digital breast tomosynthesis volume; the first column shows a mediolateral oblique view, and the second and third columns show craniocaudal views. Both models struggled to detect very small lesions, such as the 3-mm-diameter lesion shown in the first column. FP = false positive.https://www.auntminnie.com/imaging-informatics/artificial-intelligence/article/15831636/can-llms-fill-the-communication-gap-with-referring-cliniciansAuntMinnieen2026-08-04T19:03:04.000ZCan LLMs fill the communication gap with referring clinicians?https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/ai-head.GX0t8OBM7r.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/interventional/article/15831518/ctselected-thrombectomy-shows-1year-benefit-in-largecore-strokeAuntMinnieen2026-08-03T21:59:02.000ZCT-selected thrombectomy shows 1-year benefit in large-core strokehttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/aneurysm.Qc7e5b7woT.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/mri/article/15831500/mribased-ai-model-maps-local-brain-agingAuntMinnieen2026-08-03T19:18:13.000ZMRI-based AI model maps local brain aginghttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/mri-scan-brain.sXwRpcbywP.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/mri/article/15831442/surveillance-imaging-doesnt-improve-pancreatic-cancer-survivalAuntMinnieen2026-08-03T15:13:40.000ZSurveillance imaging doesn't improve pancreatic cancer survivalhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/zld260142f1-ftm.ixkm4DiTf2.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70A.)

Each row displays a distinct vascular territory. White arrows indicate focal areas of increased tracer uptake within the arterial wall, where spherical volumes of interest (VOIs) were placed for maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) measurement. Additional VOIs were placed in the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava for blood-pool activity sampling. SUVmax values from the arterial VOIs were extracted on the corresponding PET images and normalized to the blood-pool mean standardized uptake value to derive the maximum target-to-background ratio.https://www.auntminnie.com/imaging-informatics/artificial-intelligence/article/15831375/deephealth-lands-fda-nod-for-breast-ultrasound-ai-softwareAuntMinnieen2026-07-31T16:35:02.000ZDeepHealth lands FDA nod for breast ultrasound AI softwarehttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/deephealth-white-on-purple.N2nVtiUfuO.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/imaging-informatics/enterprise-imaging/article/15831310/podcast-the-pacsman-pontificates-episode-4-the-perfect-pacsAuntMinnieen2026-07-30T19:36:13.000ZPodcast: The PACSMan Pontificates, Episode 4: The perfect PACShttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/pacsman-pontification.piey1OFGXT.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/ct/article/15831299/nongated-ct-scans-can-predict-heart-disease-riskAuntMinnieen2026-07-30T18:33:00.000ZNongated CT scans can predict heart disease riskhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/heart-1.2HoXm4BNOv.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/interventional/article/15831215/tace-plus-thermal-ablation-improves-survival-in-liver-cancerAuntMinnieen2026-07-30T15:26:00.000ZTACE plus thermal ablation improves survival in liver cancerhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/liver-cancer.Z0Ylo0mgCN.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/mri/article/15831195/mri-may-help-predict-heart-disease-risk-in-patients-with-diabetesAuntMinnieen2026-07-29T19:04:28.000ZMRI may help predict heart disease risk in patients with diabeteshttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-28-radiology-mri-cardiac-diabetes.sTrC2s7a91.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Representative cardiac MRI strain images and analysis. Images in the two-, four-, and three-chamber views for strain analysis (left) and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global early diastolic longitudinal strain rate (eGLSR) curves (right) are shown. <strong>(A)</strong> Example images and GLS and eGLSR curves in a 37-year-old male participant with diabetes mellitus (DM) without events during follow-up after cardiac MRI. <strong>(B)</strong> Example images and GLS and eGLSR curves in a 45-year-old male participant with DM who had heart failure hospitalization during follow-up after cardiac MRI. In the left images, blue represents higher myocardial strain (higher absolute values of negative strain), whereas red represents reduced strain. In the curves, blue represents GLS, whereas orange represents eGLSR. The left y-axis denotes GLS (%), the right y-axis represents eGLSR (per second), and the x-axis denotes time (milliseconds). For these strain parameters, a lower absolute value indicates more severe myocardial functional impairment; accordingly, GLS and eGLSR were more impaired in participants with events compared with those without events.https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/radiation-oncology-therapy/article/15831126/art-shows-promise-in-treating-pancreatic-cancerAuntMinnieen2026-07-29T15:39:04.000ZAblative RT shows promise in treating pancreatic cancerhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/pancreas-cancerous-area-3d-rendering-adobe-anton.48TjdpxVk8.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70
