A computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics model that includes 28 radiomic features showed significantly higher accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity than conventional CT in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules, according to newly published research.

Supplemental breast MRI had a cancer detection rate (CDR) of 20/1000 and a positive predictive value (PPV) of 50 percent, according to preliminary findings from a prospective trial involving women with heterogeneously or very dense breasts.

In addition to enhanced resolution, the uMR Jupiter 5T device reportedly addresses image uniformity and radiofrequency safety that have been previous challenges with ultra-high-field MRI.

For over 1,200 women with a previous history of breast cancer, interim findings from a prospective trial suggest that adding contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) enhances detection of second malignancies with a limited increase in recalls.

The 10-study meta-analysis demonstrated that contrast-enhanced mammography has a 95 percent sensitivity rate and an 81 percent specificity rate for diagnosing suspicious lesions in women with dense breasts.

In finalized updates to breast cancer screening recommendations, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) advocates biennial mammography screening for women 40 to 74 years of age and notes insufficient evidence for the use of supplemental MRI in women with dense breasts.

In a recent interview, Steven Raman, M.D., discussed the use of MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound (TULSA) in the treatment of intermediate risk prostate cancer and key research findings with one- and five-year outcomes.

While noting a variety of pitfalls with the chatbot ranging from hallucinations to improper citations, the review authors found the use of ChatGPT in radiology demonstrated “high performance” in 37 out of 44 studies.
