Bhvita Jani, research manager at Signify Research, explains advances in cold-cathode X-ray tube technology and how this might represent a major shift in radiology imaging systems.
Mahadevappa Mahesh, PhD, professor of radiology and a medical physicist at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, explains a new ACR effort to ensure that lower radiation dose X-ray images under Image Wisely and As Low as Reasonable Achievable (ALARA) meet diagnostic reading standards.
A special report in Radiology offers a rare overview of the number of radiology exams performed each year worldwide and focuses on the decline of associated radiation doses patients receive.
The software was put to the test on nearly 5,000 trauma radiographs, assessing for the presence of fractures, dislocations, elbow effusions and focal bone lesions. In some cases, it outperformed radiologists by as many as 82 points.
Radiologists involved in the care of these patients should be especially vigilant in identifying the signs of complications, experts cautioned in a new Clinical Imaging research paper.
In a sampling of 2,273 chest radiographs of kids aged 2 to 18-years-old the AI-based software achieved diagnostic accuracies ranging from 86% to 96.9% for detecting a myriad of pathologies.
Established clinical guidelines hold that patients presenting with ankle issues should not receive advanced imaging ahead of standard radiography. New research shows a substantial proportion of ordering clinicians sending these patients straight to MRI anyway.
Recently, experts explored the efficacy of two deep learning models for grading COPD severity based on chest radiographs—a method that has not yet been thoroughly tested.
