In the latest news from the world of radiology, a study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology reveals that women's attrition rates in radiology are over 25% higher than their male counterparts, particularly among subspecialists and those in non-academic settings. Additionally, promising findings presented at the ECTRIMS Congress indicate that switching patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis to subcutaneous treatment with the monoclonal antibody ofatumumab resulted in a significant reduction of Gd+ T1 lesions on MRI after 96 weeks. A study assessing false positives in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) highlighted that AI-only interpretations led to more false positives compared to those evaluated by radiologists. Moreover, a meta-analysis from Academic Radiology found that while adjunctive AI improved sensitivity for ischemic stroke detection on non-contrast CT scans, it was hampered by bias and a lack of robust external validation in many studies. Finally, an interview discussed the advantages of point-of-care ultrasound in reducing patient length of stay and costs in dyspnea management. Other updates included the FDA granting breakthrough device designation for an AI-powered multi-triage system for CT and insights on addressing burnout in radiology.
