In addition to CE-MRI's increased sensitivity for identifying breast cancers, the researchers also found the modality had superior negative likelihood ratios with higher pre-test probabilities for safely ruling out malignancy. 

A new analysis suggests that follow-up imaging protocols for certain lung nodules identified via CT may need to be revisited. 

Assessing more than 11,000 patients with lesions designated as BI-RADS 4, radiologists using digital breast tomosynthesis found no significant diagnostic advantages over standard 2D mammography.

“These findings emphasize the importance of early recognition of IPV and timely intervention to prevent further harm to the victim,” authors of research published in Academic Radiology cautioned.

Up to 47% of patients identified as being at high risk of lung cancer after CT screening drag their feet before seeking follow-up care.

Providers screening women with dense breasts and benign breast disease should consider individualized mammogram protocols for these patients, authors of the study suggested.

An international panel of experts recently developed and validated a reporting assessment scoring system that analyzes the location and extent of prostate cancer recurrence. 

Outside of the correlation between measurements obtained using both modalities, the researchers also identified Hounsfield unit thresholds that could reliably rule out osteoporosis.
