An ultrafast MRI-based radiomics model performs just as well as standard MRI and isnt dependent on radiologist experience, according to research published January 25 in La Radiologia Medica. A team led by Bo Kyoung Seo, MD, PhD, from Korea University in Ansan City, South Korea, found that the ultrafast MRI radiomics model successfully classified hormone receptors, HER2 status, and molecular subtypes on par with standard MRIs performance.

Artificial intelligence has the potential to improve the analysis of medical image data. For example, algorithms based on deep learning can determine the location and size of tumors. This is the result of AutoPET, an international competition in medical image analysis. The seven best autoPET teams report on how algorithms can detect tumor lesions in positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT).

Imaging AI tools and algorithms continue to be rapidly developed and deployed into clinics, but experts say theres an elephant in the room that still needs to be addressed: reimbursement. Specifically, AI supporters are focusing on the lack of current procedural terminology (CPT) codes representing imaging services performed with AI. CPT codes are needed for appropriate insurance reimbursement.

Researchers have designed process that uses ultrasound to modify the behavior of cancer-fighting T cells by increasing their cell permeability. They targeted freshly isolated human immune cells with tightly focused ultrasound beams and clinically approved contrast agent microbubbles. When hit with the ultrasound, the bubbles vibrate at extremely high frequency, acting as a push-pull on the walls of the T cell's membranes.

Mammography remains one of the most critical areas of radiology practice, and one that is facing changes in reporting requirements and reimbursement policy. Even with additional mammography reporting requirements placed on radiology practices, the reimbursement value of mammography services has not changed to reflect the extra work. However, changes to screening policy could provide increased mammography volume.

About 40% of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime, and patients are getting younger. At the same time, the cost of treatment continues to rise, with employers spending 8.5% more on cancer care for each employee than they did last year. The best thing employers can do for their employees and business tomorrow is to invest in cancer detection and care today.
