Jesi Kim, MD discusses an important article that demonstrates how the improved temporal resolution of dual-source CT scanners can allow coronary CTAs to be performed without strict heartrate control while improving image quality. This finding and discussion is of interest because not administering an oral beta blocker during a coronary CTA can decreasing CT completion time and accelerate downstream management.

Eymen Ucisik, MD discusses a recently published AJR article aiming to explore the potential of the insular ribbon involvement on the initial MRI as a marker of tissue fate by analyzing serial follow up MRI findings and the affected patients' clinical outcomes. It is relevant for the general radiologists and neurologists since it may help identify patients who could benefit from late-window reperfusion treatments or neuromodulation treatments.

Renal Angiomyolipoma Embolization With a 1-2 Punch Combo Feb 24, 2023

Show notes

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/AJR.22.28587

Angiomyolipoma embolization may be performed with a variety of embolic agents. Abdul Khan, MD, discusses a recently published AJR article in which investigators compare the safety and efficacy of large or symptomatic AML embolization with a combination of LBE and NBCA-lipiodol emulsion vs PVA particles.

Supplementary Optoacoustic Imaging Improves the Specificity of Conventional Ultrasound for Differentiating Benign and Malignant Breast Masses Feb 24, 2023

Show notes

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/AJR.22.28470

In this podcast, Mostafa Alabousi, MD discusses a retrospective study by Dr. Seiler et al. which compared the diagnostic performance of supplemental optoacoustic imaging with conventional ultrasound compared to ultrasound alone for differentiating benign versus malignant breast masses.

Safety and Efficacy of Subcentimeter Lymph Bode Biopsy Feb 13, 2023

Show notes

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/abs/10.2214/AJR.22.28321

Leo Jia, MD discusses a recent article assessing the efficacy and safety of CT-guided biopsy of suspicious pelvic and retroperitoneal lymph nodes.

Optimal Timing of Thermal Ablation for Colorectal Cancer Liver Oligometastases Feb 13, 2023

Show notes

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/abs/10.2214/AJR.22.28603

Wenhui Zhou, MD, PhD reviews a recent AJR article which compares the efficacy and safety of delayed versus upfront thermal ablation in the treatment of colorectal cancer liver oligometastases. This comparison study shows upfront thermal ablation results in better progression-free-survival compared to delayed ablation, for patients with low tumor burden.

Optimizing Chest CT Reconstruction Protocol in Ultra-High-Definition Photon-Counting Detector CT Jan 18, 2023

Show notes

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/abs/10.2214/AJR.22.28515

In this podcast, Shambo Guha Roy, MD discusses an article in which the authors studied the effect of different reconstruction kernels and slice thickness on chest CT image quality performed on photon-counting detector CT used in ultra-high-definition mode.
