Nanox highlights study results
Nano-X Imaging (Nanox) and its deep learning medical imaging analytics subsidiary Nanox AI are touting early findings from the AI-enabled Detection of OsteoPorosis for Treatment (ADOPT) study. The study uses the Nanox.AI software HealthVCF to review routine CT scans and has identified up to six times more patients with vertebral compression fracture than the national average at National Health Services (NHS) hospitals in the U.K., Nanox highlighted. The company also said that the Nanox.AI algorithm has identified over 2,400 patients with vertebral compression fracture from routine CT scans that were not known to the NHS ...

Body Vision validates software on Fujifilm systems
Body Vision Medical said it has validated the use of its LungVision 3D tomographic imaging system using Fujifilm Healthcare Americas’ C-arm platforms. The company's LungVision system uses AI to transform x-ray images from C-arms into real-time, intraoperative CT scans. This allows bronchoscopists to biopsy from smaller, more difficult-to-access lung lesions at an earlier stage, according to the firm. The software was deployed on Fujifilm’s Persona line of C-arms and FDR Cross two-in-one fluoroscopy C-arm and portable digital radiography system, Body Vision noted.

Comprehensive analysis of the maxillary esthetic zone for immediate implant placement using cone beam computed tomography: A study of 352 maxillary images
ConclusionsThe findings of this study indicate that careful assessment and planning are necessary for immediate implant placement in the maxillary anterior region. The significant occurrence of LBP highlights the importance of thorough planning and evaluation to avoid surgical mishaps and complications which may necessitate bone grafting and result in added costs and time. Special attention should be given to women and the canine area. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)

CAC score may predict heart attack, stroke risk
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring with CT could determine whether patients with heart disease symptoms are at low risk of heart attacks or strokes, according to a study published March 5 in Radiology. The study results could help patients with stable chest pain avoid invasive coronary angiography (ICA), said senior author Marc Dewey, MD, of Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin in Germany in a statement released by the RSNA. "[Our] findings suggest that patients with stable chest pain and a coronary artery calcium score of zero may not require invasive coronary angiography using cardiac catheterization because the r...

ECR: More anatomical changes seen on angio-CT in COVID patients
Patients with COVID-19 experience a higher incidence of anatomical changes at the cardiac level on pulmonary angio-CT, suggest findings presented February 29 at ECR 2024. In her presentation, Ana Filipa Colucas, MD, PhD, from the University of Algarve in Faro, Portugal, discussed her team’s findings, which also showed how the use of pulmonary angio-CT scans has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic. “There were more changes in the diameter of the pulmonary artery trunk and the right ventricle in patients in the 41 to 60 years age group and in males,” Colucas said. Previous studies suggest an association between CO...

AI can aid radiologists in the fight against lung cancer
AI software can come to the aid of overwhelmed radiologists by aiding in the crucial tasks of detection, quantification, and future risk prediction of lung cancer on CT exams -- both in low-dose screening exams and in nonscreening chest CT exams. Radiologists inundated with lung nodule findings may find that AI can come to their aid in the crucial tasks of detection, quantification, and future risk prediction of lung cancer on CT exams -- both in low-dose screening exams and in nonscreening chest CT exams. Among common incidental findings in medical imaging, pulmonary nodules appear on about one-third of chest CT scans l...

ECR: 3 tips for developing a successful cardiac imaging practice
VIENNA -- It's definitely possible to develop a successful cardiac imaging practice, according to a professional development presentation delivered February 28 at the ECR in Vienna. It all comes down to a willingness to learn and to collaborate with colleagues across specialties, session chair and first presenter Dr. Matthias Gutberlet, PhD, of the University of Leipzig in Germany, told session attendees. "Teamwork is the key to success," he said. Gutberlet described how he came to cardiac imaging early in his medical career. At the time, there was little training for, say, cardiac MRI. But he persevered. "Imaging was ...
