Diagnostic performance of AI-Assisted coronary CT Angiography: A systematic review and Meta-Analysis
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is recommended by various appropriate use criteria and chest pain guidelines for diagnosing ischemic heart disease (1,2). While multiple studies have validated the diagnostic precision of CCTA, its performance varies which is largely due to differences in reader expertise (3,4). As a result, several academic societies are actively implementing initiatives aimed at enhancing the proficiency of CCTA readers while ensuring consistency in image interpr…

Characterization of middle ear ossicular ligaments using photon counting detector CT
The middle ear ossicular ligaments were first comprehensively described in anatomic detail by Wolff and Belluci in 1956 (1). The ossicular ligaments were largely beyond the resolution of medical imaging until the early 1990′s at which time improvements in tube, detector and collimator technology allowed for their visualization (2). Since this early work, more detailed descriptions of these ligaments have been provided using micro-CT scans on stained pathological temporal bone samples, and cadave…

Evaluation of DeepSeek-R1 and contemporary large language models on the radiology board examination: A milestone achieved as open-source model matches performance with closed-source model
The explosive progress of large language models (LLMs) over the last three years has reshaped knowledge-intensive disciplines, including medicine and, increasingly, radiology [1,2]. State-of-the-art proprietary systems such as OpenAI GPT-4 have matched—or even exceeded—human pass rates on medical licensing and specialty examinations, demonstrating that transformer-based models can internalize vast biomedical corpora and recall them with examination-level precision.

Study Makes the Case for Replacing Annual Breast Cancer Screening
(MedPage Today) — SAN ANTONIO — Risk-based breast cancer screening proved noninferior for detecting clinically significant tumors in a randomized trial, though outside experts raised concerns and a major medical group said the findings do not…
