When you first get into practice and really want to make a good early impression, you’re going to make some mistakes, and some of them are going to be pretty boneheaded. Everyone has holes in their knowledge, and there are almost certainly things that you should actually know that somehow don’t. Depending on your practice–and how often people see your name–it’s possible you may even burn a bridge or two with an experienced (or headstrong) clinician when you miss some key finding or r

While adjunctive use of AI led to significantly higher specificity and accuracy rates in detecting cancer on breast ultrasound exams in comparison to unassisted reading by breast radiologists, researchers noted that 12 of 13 BI-RADS 3 lesions upgraded by AI were ultimately benign, according to research presented at the European Congress of Radiology.

Dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a useful tool for interventions, according to a March 3 presentation given at ECR 2024. In his talk, Dean Huang, MD, from King’s College London in England outlined novel applications for CEUS in vascular and nonvascular imaging, as well as therapeutic and potential future applications. “Ultrasound contrast agent use can be ubiquitous in interventional practice and can solve many logistical or clinical diagnostic problems,” he said.

Dynamic PET scans acquired in half the time of normal scans appear clinically feasible for patients with lung lesions, according to nuclear medicine researchers in Shenzhen, China. In an image reconstruction analysis, the group found that dynamic F-18 FDG-PET images acquired in 30 minutes provided images equal in quality to scans acquired after 65 minutes – a big difference for patients who are required to lie prone during the procedures, noted lead authors Fen Du, PhD, and Xieraili Wumener, PhD
