Deep learning synthesis of DBT features from mammography for breast cancer diagnosis
Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) enhances diagnostic accuracy by minimizing tissue overlap seen in digital mammography (DM). However, the substantial number of images generated by DBT poses challenges for radiologists. The aim of this study was to enhance the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of DM for breast cancer diagnosis by leveraging advanced feature representations derived from DBT.

A novel deep-learning approach for coronary artery calcium scoring in contrast-enhanced spectral coronary CT angiography: A phantom study
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is an essential indicator of coronary artery disease and the Agatston score serves as a reliable, reproducible, and widely accessible tool for risk assessment, prediction of adverse cardiovascular events, and treatment guidance, in both asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals [1]. The European Society of Cardiology and American Heart Association guidelines recommend a two-step computed tomography (CT) approach for coronary artery disease assessment for symptomatic …

The role of serum phosphate and calcium levels in coronary artery calcification progression: A multicenter, longitudinal cohort study
Table of Contents Summary Higher serum phosphate levels within the normal range were associated with a higher likelihood of prevalent CAC, higher baseline CAC scores, and faster longitudinal CAC score progression. The effect of phosphate on CAC progression had a synergistic interaction with baseline CAC scores and serum calcium levels. Our results identify phosphate as a target to slow CAC progression and ultimately to lower cardiovascular risk.

Study Shows Promise of Emerging Radiotherapeutic Agent for Treatment of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
Use of the radiotherapeutic agent 177Lu-edotreotide (ITM-11) demonstrated significantly higher absorption in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors than normal organs along with a favorable safety profile, according to SPECT research recently presented at the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) conference.
