Benign Calcifications Drive False-Positive AI Risk Scores in Mammography
A study of 130,031 mammograms reveals that amorphous calcifications often trigger high AI risk scores in non-cancerous cases.
Photon Counting CT Maintains TAVR Image Quality with 37.5% Less Contrast
Low-energy virtual monoenergetic reconstructions compensate for reduced iodine volume, improving signal-to-noise ratios in TAVR planning.
Early Interval Breast Cancers Show More Aggressive Clinical Features
A UK study finds that interval cancers diagnosed within a year of screening often have worse prognostic stages and visible signs on review.
Photon-Counting CT Shows Higher Spatial Resolution for Lung Nodules in Phantom Study
New data suggest photon-counting technology maintains noise stability and resolution better than energy-integrating systems at low doses.
Fetal MRI Scoring System Quantifies Severity in Trisomy 13, 18, and CHARGE
A new morphological score and network analysis map phenotypic heterogeneity to assist in prenatal counseling and management planning.
Forefoot MRI Pacinian Corpuscle Count Correlates With Diabetic Neuropathy Severity
Loss of mechanoreceptors on routine imaging mirrors electrophysiological deficits in large-fiber sensory dysfunction.
Fibrotic Lung Abnormalities Linked to Increased Coronary Artery Calcification
A retrospective study of 2,031 screening participants finds interstitial lung changes correlate with subclinical atherosclerosis burden.
Radiomics Models Predict Ablative Radiotherapy Response in Oligometastatic Disease
A scoping review of 29 studies shows deep learning models achieve high accuracy in predicting treatment response, primarily for brain metastases.
Contrast-Enhanced MRI Improves Staging Accuracy in Early Rectal Cancer
A combined MRI model identifies Tis-T1 lesions more accurately than endorectal ultrasound, aiding organ-sparing surgical decisions.
High-Dose Yttrium-90 Resin Microspheres Improve Hepatocellular Carcinoma Response
A tumor-mean absorbed dose above 296.74 Gy predicts objective response, while doses exceeding 435.11 Gy consistently achieve complete response.
CT Ventilation Metrics Correlate With Spirometry in Healthy Adults
A prospective study establishes normative reference ranges for regional lung ventilation using paired inspiratory and expiratory CT scans.
Multi-Echo T2* MRI Identifies Neonatal Hemochromatosis via Extrahepatic Iron Patterns
Pancreatic and thyroid siderosis on MRI distinguishes neonatal hemochromatosis from other liver failure causes with 92.3% accuracy.
