Opportunistic Calcium Scoring Shifts to Abdomen April 28, 2025

Most of the recent research on calcium scoring has focused on calcium in the coronary arteries and its link to cardiovascular disease. But a new study in American Heart Journal used abdominal CT scans with AI analysis for opportunistic measurement of abdominal aortic calcium to predict cardiac events – possibly earlier than CAC scores. CT-derived […]

MRI Recon Gets Real with AI-Driven Protocols April 24, 2025

AI-based data reconstruction for MRI scans took a step forward this week with studies showing how to generate 3T-like images from ultralow-field scanners, and improve scanner efficiency by cutting energy consumption. MRI is radiology’s premier modality, but MRI scanners are cumbersome to install and expensive to operate.  Enter AI-based image reconstruction. Deep learning protocols are […]
