Recommendations for additional imaging (RAIs) play a critical role in the diagnostic process but have historically varied widely among radiologists and are often ambiguously phrased, leading to potential overuse of imaging and missed follow-ups. Recognising this challenge, a large academic hospital initiated a series of structured, technology-driven...Read more

Patients presenting with atypical chest pain often undergo invasive coronary angiography (ICA) to diagnose or exclude coronary artery disease (CAD). Although effective, ICA is costly and involves procedural risks. An alternative approach using coronary computed tomography (CT) offers a less invasive and potentially more efficient diagnostic pathway....Read more

T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) is a cornerstone of prostate MRI, enabling clear visualisation of anatomical structures for cancer detection and staging. The Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version 2.1 specifies minimum technical standards for such imaging, notably recommending an in-plane resolution of 0.40 × 0.70 mm². While intended...Read more

Cardiac CT attenuation correction (CTAC) scans, routinely performed alongside myocardial perfusion imaging, have long been limited to basic functions such as attenuation correction and visual calcium assessment. Yet these low-dose scans, widely available and underused, hold a wealth of anatomical data. A new study proposes an artificial intelligence...Read more

Accurate imaging of coronary artery disease (CAD) plays a vital role in guiding clinical decisions, particularly in patients with high coronary calcium scores. While conventional coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has proven reliable for ruling out CAD in low to intermediate-risk patients, it tends to overestimate the severity of stenosis in the presence...Read more

Prostate cancer detection relies heavily on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), particularly T2-weighted imaging (T2WI). However, image quality (IQ) varies across scans, often due to motion artifacts or hardware limitations. This variability can prompt unnecessary repeat scans, consuming time and resources. In response, researchers...Read more
