Radiomics-Based AI Models Can Detect PDAC From Prediagnostic CT
AI-based approach may detect pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma at a subclinical stage
AI Can Help ID Incidental PE on Conventional Chest CT Exams
Out of 3,003 chest CT exams, AI detected four iPEs missed by clinical reports, and clinical reports detected seven iPEs missed by AI
Negative CT May Prompt Discharge of Patients With Abdominal Seat Belt Sign
Presence of free fluid may serve as the most effective binary classifier for presence of hollow viscus injury
Abdominal CT Biomarkers May Predict Type 2 Diabetes
Predictors of T2D include intrapancreatic fat percentage, pancreatic fractal dimension, plaque severity between L1 and L4
Integration of AI Platform Can Cut Time for Chest CT Interpretation
Mean interpretation times were 22.1 percent shorter in the artificial-intelligence versus non-AI arms
Strategies to Reduce IV Contrast Use for CT Scans Compared
Greatest reduction would involve performing unenhanced CT assuming no more than moderate negative effect on diagnostic accuracy
Follow-Up Often Delayed After High-Risk Findings on Lung Cancer Screening
Patients with more severe findings less likely to have prolonged delays; current smokers had more delays than former smokers
Emphysema on CT Linked to Increased Risk for Lung Cancer
Pooled odds ratios for lung cancer increased with emphysema severity, and were higher for visual versus quantitative assessments on chest CT
Less Toxicity Seen With MRI-Guided SBRT for Prostate Cancer
Rate of acute grade ≥2 genitourinary toxicity lower with MRI guidance versus CT guidance for SBRT in men with localized prostate cancer
Screening Nonsmokers May Up Lung Cancer Overdiagnosis, Spurious Survival Rates
Promoting low-dose CT screening among mostly nonsmoking women increased detection of early-stage, but not late-stage, lung cancers
