Authors of the study noted that using the algorithm eliminates the issue of subjectivity and time-consuming visual assessments of emphysema.

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.

Alan H. Matsumoto, MD, chair of the department of radiology at the University of Virginia, vice chair of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Board of Chancellors, and chairman of the ACR Commission on Interventional and Cardiovascular Radiology, explains that the iodine contrast shortage has led to use of MRI gadolinium contrast agents in some cases.

By using a combination of functional liver imaging scores (FLIS) derived from gadoxetic acid (GA)-enhanced MRI and splenic diameter measured on MRI, the experts were able to non-invasively assess liver impairment.

Kirk Garratt, MD, medical director of the Center for Heart and Vascular Health, ChristianaCare, and a past president of SCAI, explains what this shortage means for interventional cardiologists.

Imaging features were also examined as predictive time to resolution factors, with cortical thickness of the nodes being of particular interest.

“We need to commit to changing the supply chain so that a single event in a faraway country does not put us in this predicament again," experts wrote in a new special report shared by Radiology.

Randall Thompson, MD, immediate past president of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC), explains two key advances in cardiac nuclear imaging.
 

The COVID lockdowns at the Shanghai plant began on March 31, and although the plant there has since resumed operations, they are not yet at 100% capacity.

“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.
