Week in Review: Ultrasound MinnieCast | AI and lung cancer | CT radiation dose

Dear AuntMinnie Member,

We’re very pleased to announce the launch of our next new podcast, the Ultrasound MinnieCast. Our first episode features an interview with Richard Barr, MD, on the prospect of a big year ahead for contrast-enhanced ultrasound

New episodes of the Ultrasound MinnieCast will be published on a biweekly basis and will be available on the AuntMinnie Podcast Network along with other popular podcasts such as the Women’s Imaging MinnieCast, The Invisible Force, and Keeping up with the Radiologists

Meanwhile, AuntMinnie members were drawn this week to our coverage highlighting the benefit of AI for boosting the performance of radiologists in identifying lung cancer on CT scans. Speaking of CT, great strides have been made in lowering radiation dose.

New research could also represent an important step for further development of a new treatment option for patients with advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. And AI shows potential as a clinical decision-support tool for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease on brain perfusion SPECT scans.

See below for the full list of top stories for the week.

  1. AI improves radiologists’ performance for identifying lung cancer on CT

  2. PSMA-PET predicts patient responses to Ac-225-based therapy

  3. 25 years of CT technology advances translate to lower radiation doses
