Article Synopsis
- The O-RADS scoring system aims to standardize the reporting of adnexal lesions detected via non-dynamic MRI to enhance diagnosis accuracy.
- A study assessed the consistency between different observers (intra- and inter-observer agreement) using kappa statistics, revealing strong agreements and a high level of accuracy in distinguishing between benign and borderline/malignant lesions.
- The findings support O-RADS as a reliable tool for identifying potentially dangerous lesions, with additional insights into factors that cause rating discrepancies among observers.
Article Synopsis
- Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a key indicator of early atherosclerosis, and the study aimed to see how different risk factors and statin use affect the timing of CAC development among patients.
- The research involved 3,484 patients who had their CAC measured through CT scans, focusing on calculating the time difference for developing a non-zero CAC score based on various factors.
- Results showed that age, male gender, and statin use significantly influence the onset of CAC, with men and statin users developing CAC around 9-10 years earlier than women and non-users, respectively, while also noting the lesser impact of diabetes, hypertension, and smoking.
Purpose: The coronary artery calcium (CAC) score is used in decision-making for preventive medications in patients with borderline clinical risk scores. Both absolute and percentile CAC scores can be used; however, a percentile CAC score is especially useful in young patients and women. The aim of this study is to present CAC score percentiles across age categories in women and men using a large database.
