CT cerebral angiography ED headache diagnosis more effective
CT cerebral angiography makes emergency department (ED) diagnosis of headache more effective, researchers have found.
A team led by Dustin Mark, MD, of Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Oakland, CA, reported that use of the technique was associated with “fewer lumbar punctures and higher detection of unruptured intracranial aneurysms, with no significant change in missed diagnoses of subarachnoid hemorrhage or bacterial meningitis.” The results were published April 19 in JAMA Network Open.
The investigators conducted a study that included data from 198,109 encounters at 21 emergency departments that involved the us...

What Causes Hemoptysis?
Discussion
True hemoptysis is a very uncommon or rare problem in pediatrics but can be potentially life-threatening. Massive hemoptysis has a high mortality (up to 50%) mainly from asphyxia and inability to ventilate and oxygenate the patient because of blood in the pulmonary airways. Fortunately, most hemoptysis is small in amount that resolves within 24 hours.
Initial evaluation for hemoptysis can include complete blood count, coagulation studies, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, urinalysis (possible pulmonary-renal problems), radiographic imaging including chest x-ray and/or computed tomography, and...

Segmed partners with Beacon Health System in Indiana
Data management vendor Segmed plans to partner with nonprofit Beacon Health System in Indiana to supply Segmed's advanced medical imaging data.
Beacon will have access to Segmed's database of imaging data from various modalities such as CT scans, MRIs, x-rays, and ultrasounds, according to Segmed.
Segmed acquires, deidentifies, standardizes, and provides medical imaging data to use as part of AI machine learning. As of August 2023, Segmed's Insight cloud-based platform reportedly had surpassed 100 million imaging studies. (Source: AuntMinnie.com Headlines)

CT-based deep learning identifies patients at further lung cancer risk
A CT-based deep learning model can identify individuals with clinical stage IA non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at high risk of further disease, researchers have found.
A model developed by a team led by Kwon Joong Na, MD, of Seoul National University Hospital and College of Medicine in South Korea demonstrated an area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) of 0.86 for predicting recurrence of disease at two-years post procedure. The group's results were published April 16 in Radiology.
Lobectomy has traditionally been the standard approach for treating early-stage lung cancer, but new research has suggested that s...

Vision transformer AI model boosts PET/CT imaging of cancer
This study included imaging from 143 patients with active abdominopelvic cancer and 64 patients without any active cancer who underwent whole-body PET/CT scans at Osaka University Hospital between January 2020 and August 2021.Using this data, the researchers trained a previously developed ViT-B/16 model without modifications to classify the PET/CT images as “positive” or “negative” (malignant or benign). Next, they compared the ViT’s performance with two baseline CNN models, called DenseNet and EfficientNet, on 4,852 test PET/CT images.Predictions and Grad-CAMs of ViT-based models on sample PET/CT, PET, and CT te...
