Mohanned Alnammi, MD discusses a study that assessed the frequency of mucinous degeneration following neoadjuvant therapy and to compare outcomes among patients with nonmucinous, mucinous tumors, and those with mucinous degeneration on MRI. It revealed that mucinous degeneration is relatively uncommon and did not have a clear association with cancer recurrence or patient survival. The study emphasized the limitations of MRI in differentiating between cellular and acellular mucin and indicated a need for more advanced imaging techniques.

Stephany Mazur, MD summarizes findings from a recent article demonstrating no significant increase in image apparent hematoma, palpable hematoma, or need for post-biopsy bleeding-related intervention for patient on anti-thrombotic therapy as compared to those not on therapy. Only breast bruising was seen more frequently in patients on antithrombotic therapy as compared to those not on therapy.

Eymen Ucisik, MD presents a recently published AJR article exploring the possible risk factors for diagnostic errors by attending neuroradiologists in a single large academic center. These findings should be considered when designing workflow-related interventions to reduce imaging interpretation errors.

Wenhui Zhou, MD, PhD reviews a recent AJR article which described a unique association of unexplained acute distal pancreatitis with subsequent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Awareness of this imaging finding may facilitate upfront endoscopic ultrasound sampling for early detection of pancreatic cancer.

Following COVID-19 Booster Vaccine Resolves Quicker Than After the Initial Vaccine Series May 01, 2023

Show notes

Leo Jia, MD discusses a new study that finds the time to resolution after a booster dose supports the current recommendation for follow up of at least 12 weeks for suspected vaccine-related lymphadenopathy.

In the AI Test Kitchen: Technical Adequacy of AI Body Composition Tools in a Heterogenous Sample of External CT Examinations May 01, 2023

Show notes

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/full/10.2214/AJR.22.28745

Artificial intelligence tools are already used in the practice of radiology, but there are questions about their accuracy and generalizability. Juliet Alla, MD discusses a study examining the technical adequacy of several body composition AI tools when applied to a set of heterogenous sample of outside imaging studies. Special guest Dr. Tara Retson, with multiple publications on algorithm development and the role of AI in radiology, joins us to discuss the implications for clinical practice.
