First use of CT pulmonary angiography and fluoroscopy fusion during thrombectomy in acute pulmonary embolism
The use of percutaneous interventions for acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is steadily increasing, particularly in patients who are not candidates for systemic thrombolysis. Traditionally, pulmonary vascular anatomy—including anatomical variants, vessel size, branch bifurcations, and thrombus location—is assessed using contrast-enhanced angiography to guide mechanical thrombectomy. However, this conventional strategy is associated with several risks, including allergic reactions due to repeated con…

Mammography Screening Linked to Greater than 14 Percent Higher Five- and 10-Year Survival Rates for Breast Cancer
In a study involving over 1,000 women with breast cancer, researchers found that patients with screening-detected breast cancer had a five-year survival rate of 94.4 percent in comparison to 79.6 percent for women with clinically detected breast cancer.

Can CT-Based Deep Learning Bolster Prognostic Assessments of Ground-Glass Nodules?
Emerging research shows that a multiple time-series deep learning model assessment of CT images provides 20 percent higher sensitivity than a delta radiomic model and 56 percent higher sensitivity than a clinical model for prognostic evaluation of ground-glass nodules.
