This year’s trip along the Road to RSNA for digital x-ray features a few familiar mileposts – AI for chest x-ray studies, for instance – but notably also significant research into how technology and new techniques can reduce radiation exposure in patients. What’s changed in AI research is the number of studies evaluating commercially available chest x-ray algorithms in “real-world” settings.

That old saying, "kill two birds with one stone" (or the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals version, "feed two birds with one scone") is particularly appropriate for CT imaging these days, as clinicians explore the opportunistic use of the modality. Millions of CT scans are performed each year -- often for lung cancer screening, but also as a first-line test when a patient presents in the emergency room -- and information from these tests can shed light on other conditions.
