Aruj Chawla, MD provides an overview and discussion of an AJR article that discusses the possibility of using thin-slice reconstructions in a head-to-head comparison with existing reconstruction techniques to compare subjective image quality. Is there a possibility of streamlining workflows and eliminating thick reconstructions all together? The ideas proposed in this research hope to help pave the way.

Across practices, Eovist is used to differentiate focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) from hepatic adenoma (HCA). Mohanned Alnammi, MD discusses how further research and new updates in HCA classification system, combined with new data from a recent AJR article shows how Eovist uptake occurs in these subtypes (namely B-HCA which has malignant potential).

Wenhui Zhou, MD, PhD reviews a recent AJR article which developed and validated a nomogram combining clinical and CT-based radiomics features to differentiate pneumonia-type IMA and pneumonia. This nomogram outperformed radiologist interpretation or clinical factors alone, representing a useful tool in this difficult-to-diagnose disease.
