AuntMinnie 2007: Gadolinium: A 'necessary factor' in the development of NSF?

AuntMinnie

In 2007, our top article offered a deep dive into the association of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) with gadolinium-based contrast agents. Imagine going in for a diagnostic MRI scan and coming out with a progressive, irreversible, and potentially fatal disease. In 2006 the U.S. report of NSF in 33 dialysis patients at a St.

AI model used with one-inhale CT helps diagnose COPD

AuntMinnie

A convolutional neural network (CNN) model used with a one-inhalation lung CT scan protocol can effectively diagnose and stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), researchers have reported. The disease consists of a group of progressive lung conditions that obstruct an individual's ability to breathe.

AI boosts CTPA's ability to predict lung disease survival

AuntMinnie

The percentage of lung fibrosis quantified on CT pulmonary angiograms (CTPA) by an AI model is associated with increased risk of mortality -- and boosts clinicians' ability to predict the survival of lung disease patients, researchers have found. The results were published February 6 in Radiology. Images courtesy of the RSNA. "[We
