Viz.ai has launched Viz 3D CTA, a new AI technology that automatically converts CT angiography (CTA) scans into high-resolution, AI-enhanced 3D images. Viz 3D CTA addresses challenges in neurovascular imaging, including delays due to manual 3D renderings, limited spatial context in PACS, and difficulty viewing smaller or more distal vessel abnormalities, the company said.
Week in Review: SPECT/CT predicts survival | Neurotheranostics | Women OK with cancer risk data

1 week ago | auntminnie.com | Erik L. Ridley

Dear AuntMinnie Member, Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging content were the most highly viewed among our readers last week, making up three of the top four articles. Our most popular story featured research on the combination of SPECT/CT and serum prostate-specific antigen levels for evaluating early patient responses to Pluvicto treatment for prostate cancer.
Screening programs should map immigration demographics, study shows

The main immigrant groups served by screening programs should be mapped to increase attendance and address potential inequalities in healthcare delivery, according to a research team presenting their findings from a Norwegian mammography program in an ECR 2025 poster. The researchers, led by Dr. Nataliia Moshina, PhD, noted that general recommendations for breast cancer screening do not consider women’s immigration status.
Preop MRI fails to deliver results for breast cancer subtype

2 weeks ago | auntminnie.com | Maryam Payne |Amerigo Allegretto |Will Morton |Erik L. Ridley

Preoperative MRI does not yield better outcomes in women with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive and hormone receptor-negative breast cancer, according to research published April 29 in Radiology. In a retrospective study involving more than 1,000 women, researchers from the University of Ulsan College of Medicine in Seoul found that preoperative MRI was not associated with improvements in either recurrence-free survival or overall survival.
Week in Review: Right-to-repair in NC | LCS for nonsmokers | Do women want mammo AI?

2 weeks ago | auntminnie.com | Erik L. Ridley

Dear AuntMinnie Member,Legislation introduced recently in North Carolina would require OEMs of medical imaging and radiation therapy equipment to provide product owners and independent service providers with what they need to service the equipment. Although popular among biomedical technicians and clinical engineers, the right-to-repair bill is opposed by industry groups. Our coverage was the most highly viewed story last week on AuntMinnie.
AI produces synthetic 3T MR images from portable scans

3 weeks ago | auntminnie.com | Erik L. Ridley

An AI algorithm can generate synthetic 3-tesla images from MRI data acquired on a portable 64-mT MRI scanner from patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to research published April 22 in Radiology. Called LowGAN, the generative adversarial network (GAN) yielded both qualitative and quantitative improvement for the low-field-strength MRI scans, a team led by first author Alfredo Lucas of the University of Pennsylvania reported.
