MRI, ultrasound have tradeoffs in diagnosing neuropathies

AuntMinnie

MRI and ultrasound have tradeoffs in diagnosing peripheral neuropathies of the upper extremity, a study published March 4 in Radiology found. This [MRN] may be the preferred imaging method when available, particularly for the suspected involvement of proximal nerve segments or multiple nerves, the Schwarz team wrote. Sensitivity 91.6%

AI improves performance of nonradiologists in chest imaging

AuntMinnie

AI improves chest x-ray imaging interpretation by nonradiologist practitioners, which could be useful in low-resource settings, according to research published January 29 in Chest. That last part can be challenging for nonradiologists who do not constantly interpret diagnostic imaging exams.
