Clinical Research

Representative cases showing pneumonia extents and patterns on chest X-ray (CXRs) and CT images. (E and F) A 36-year-old male with no history of vaccination for COVID- 19. The patient had no history of comorbidity. Axial chest CT image obtained on the same day showing unilateral ground-glass opacity with a nonrounded morphology and non-peripheral distribution in the left upper lobe (arrows). RSNA Image. COVID on X-ray, CT scan. What does COVID look like in medical imaging? Example of COVID imaging.

Vaccinated vs unvaccinated, Delta vs Omicron—how do these factors impact clinical and imaging features?

Vaccination rates likely had a role in reducing disease severity during Omicron, a new paper published in Radiology suggests.

Women with dense breasts and benign breast disease have increased risks of developing #breastcancer

Longitudinal changes in breast density could be linked to breast cancer risk

Researchers found that cancer risk in premenopausal women with fatty breasts at initial imaging nearly doubled if an increase in density was observed during their second and third mammograms.

long covid lung damage in children

New study shows long-term lung damage in children who have recovered from COVID

A new analysis published in Radiology details signs of persistent pulmonary dysfunction in children who have recovered from a COVID infection or who are experiencing symptoms of long-COVID.

neck ultrasound thyroid

Researchers link ultrasound features with risk of thyroid cancer recurrence

In particular, the experts paid close attention to instances of extrathyroidal extension (ETE) on ultrasound.

Depression

Neuroimaging analysis suggests that the brains of patients with depression are not so different after all

“Results of this case-control study suggest that even for maximum univariate biological differences, deviations between patients with MDD and healthy controls were remarkably small," experts shared in JAMA Psychiatry.

soft tissue lymphoma versus soft tissue tumor

Soft tissue lymphomas versus soft tissue tumors: MRI features reliably differentiate between the two

A new analysis offers a detailed comparison of soft-tissue lymphomas and soft-tissue tumors based on imaging characteristics from MRI scans—an area of study that has not yet been rigorously explored, the authors of the paper indicated.

Photon-counting CT/AI combo improves multiple myeloma detection

When combined with artificial intelligence-based noise reduction techniques, new photon-counting CT technology can increase the detection of bone disease while also decreasing radiation exposure.

Around the web

Automated AI-generated measurements combined with annotated CT images can improve treatment planning and help referring physicians and patients better understand their disease, explained Sarah Jane Rinehart, MD, director of cardiac imaging with Charleston Area Medical Center.

Two advanced algorithms—one for CAC scores and another for segmenting cardiac chamber volumes—outperformed radiologists when assessing low-dose chest CT scans. 

"Gen AI can help tackle repetitive tasks and provide insights into massive datasets, saving valuable time," Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, said Tuesday.
