Signify Research senior analyst Amy Thompson explains the trend of connecting various departments to enterprise imaging systems. She said digital pathology may soon become the third largest user of these systems.

Surveying the landscape of interpretive AI in radiology, two researchers note a yawning gap between great expectations set in the recent past and actual clinical implementations as of spring 2023.

The findings support adopting F-18 DCFPyL PET/CT as the standard of care for prostate cancer staging, authors of a new Scientific Reports paper concluded.

Standalone AI can significantly outperform radiologists' sensitivity in reading digital mammograms and has shown potential in DBT exams as well, but experts are not yet ready to hand over the reins.

Using abbreviated MRI protocols for pediatric exams offers similar quality as standard protocols but decreases the need for sedation. 

Judging the software’s utility in rural settings with less experienced readers is important for expanding access to and improving care for patients, authors of a new AJR paper noted.

The research, published in Stroke and Vascular Neurology, suggests that just four hours of physical activity per week can reduce the significance of a brain bleed.

This psychological phenomenon describes the notion that people believe they can make better predictions or decisions once they have been exposed to new information on the subject, often causing them to overestimate their own abilities. 

The ACR Manual on Contrast Media suggests that highly viscous ICM should be warmed to body temperature prior to administration when using high-rate intravenous low-osmolality power injections, viscous iodinated CM, small-caliber catheters, or for timed studies looking at peak enhancement.   

Its use dropped the average time needed to examine a finding at all timepoints from 107 seconds to 65 seconds, with pulmonary nodule assessments benefiting from the greatest reductions.
