Purpose: While mammography is considered the gold standard for screening women for breast cancer, its accuracy declines in women with dense breasts. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of contrast enhanced mammography (CEM) for detecting breast cancer in intermediate and high-risk women, including those with genetic predispositions, over a decade-long cohort at a tertiary center.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all CEM examinations performed for screening purposes at a tertiary center between 2012 and 2023.

Article Synopsis
  • * Conducted between January 2015 and March 2023, the research compared two groups: one receiving supplemental US with mammography and another receiving just mammography, analyzing cancer detection rates and characteristics.
  • * Out of 200 women screened, both groups had an equal number of cancers detected (four each), with ultrasound showing moderate sensitivity (25%) but high specificity (85.7%) in cancer detection among participants.

Background: Traumatic knee injuries are challenging to diagnose accurately through radiography and to a lesser extent, through CT, with fractures sometimes overlooked. Ancillary signs like joint effusion or lipo-hemarthrosis are indicative of fractures, suggesting the need for further imaging. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can automate image analysis, improving diagnostic accuracy and help prioritizing clinically important X-ray or CT studies.

This study's aim is to describe the imaging findings in pregnant patients undergoing emergent MRI for suspected acute appendicitis, and the various alternative diagnoses seen on those MRI scans. This is a single center retrospective analysis in which we assessed the imaging, clinical and pathological data for all consecutive pregnant patients who underwent emergent MRI for suspected acute appendicitis between April 2013 and June 2021. Out of 167 patients, 35 patients (20.

Background: The impaired drainage of cerebrospinal fluid through the glymphatic system is thought to play a role in the idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) pathophysiology. Limited data exist regarding the glymphatic system's involvement in pediatric patients with IIH. Therefore, the study's objective was to quantitatively evaluate alterations in parenchymal diffusivity and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-visible dilated perivascular spaces (PVS) as imaging indicators of glymphatic dysfunction in pediatric patients with IIH.

This study explores the potential of OpenAI's ChatGPT as a decision support tool for acute ulcerative colitis presentations in the setting of an emergency department. We assessed ChatGPT's performance in determining disease severity using TrueLove and Witts criteria and the necessity of hospitalization for patients with ulcerative colitis, comparing results with those of expert gastroenterologists. Of 20 cases, ChatGPT's assessments were found to be 80% consistent with gastroenterologist evaluations and indicated a high degree of reliability.
