AI Improves Fracture Detection on Whole-Body Trauma CT
A new study has found that with convolutional neural network (CNN) model assistance, surgeons showed improved sensitivity for detecting fractures and the time of reading and interpreting CT scans was reduced, especially for less experienced orthopedic surgeons. More...11 Oct 2022

New Guidance Recommends Coronary CTA as First-Line Test when Treating Acute Chest Pain in ED
The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT, Arlington, VA, USA) has released an expert consensus document detailing standards of practice for coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) use for patients presenting with acute chest pain (ACP) to the emergency department. The document outlines the benefits of CCTA as the first-line test for ACP and provides recommendations for appropriate patient selection, preparation, protocol selection, interpretation, reporting and patient management based on clinical evidence and expert consensus.

Breast Ultrasound Volume Calculator Accurately Monitors Cancer Treatment
A new technology with the ability to image through dense breasts calculates the fibroglandular volume (FGV) of the breast and the ratio of FGV to total breast volume (TGV). This ratio can contribute to an assessment of risk for breast cancer and changes in this ratio can be used to measure the efficacy of medication used to treat or prevent breast cancer.

AI Determines Calcium Scores in CT and PET Images More Rapidly and Accurately than Physicians
A new study has revealed that AI tools can more rapidly, and objectively, determine calcium scores in CT and PET images than physicians, even when obtained from very-low-radiation CT attenuation scans. More...22 Sep 2022

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tool Detects Pancreatic Cancer on CT
CT is the key imaging method for detection of pancreatic cancer, but it misses about 40% of tumors under two centimeters. Now, a new study has found an AI tool to be highly effective at detecting pancreatic cancer on CT. More...14 Sep 2022
