This week's Diagnostic Imaging's Weekly Scan highlights significant advancements in radiology. New research in European Radiology indicates that a nomogram combining PET, CT, and clinical data can predict lymph node metastasis in lung cancer patients with an 87.7% AUC, showing enhanced sensitivity over PET-only models. At the RSNA conference, Dr. Emanuel Kanal emphasized MRI safety improvements linked to remote scanning, while Dr. Sriyesh Krishnan discussed AI model assessments and patient care focus. The FDA has also granted 510(k) clearance for a new diffusion-weighted imaging sequence aimed at improving stroke detection using the portable Swoop MRI system. Additionally, irregular CT margins and elevated SUVmax levels significantly increase malignancy risks in thyroid incidentalomas identified via PET/CT.
