The advance of theranostics is prompting development of new radiopharmaceutical therapies to treat cancer. To help our readers keep up with the trend, this week AuntMinnie launched a Radiopharmaceutical Therapy Tracker, which proved to be our top story. Click here to peruse the current list of agents -- and rest assured that we'll be updating it regularly.
Readers also showed interest in research from the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute (HPI) that reported a 113% increase in exam interpretation times between 2014 and 2023, particularly for CT and MR imaging. The week's third most popular story highlighted a study that found a decline in mammography use among some groups of women -- specifically, non-Hispanic white, Asian, those who are uninsured, and those between the ages of 40 to 49 -- underscoring the need for "clear, risk-based screening communication and targeted strategies to promote guideline-concordant decision-making," according to a team from Washington University in St. Louis, MO.
Our fourth most-clicked article covered a New England Journal of Medicine study that described a software-based method that calculates fractional flow reserve from coronary angiography images in patients with intermediate coronary artery lesions, while the fifth outlined research that addressed the question of whether radiologists and/or AI can reliably identify lung abnormalities on x-ray (spoiler alert: perhaps not).
Take a look at the full list of the week's top articles, below:
