Excerpt

We would like to thank Dr Chang and colleagues for their interest in our paper and their comments on our systematic review and meta-analysis. In their letter to the editor, Dr Chang notes potential concerns regarding the inclusion criteria and analytic methods of the systematic review. We agree that the article does not focus on the work done by physical therapists alone; hence, we chose a broad yet specific title suitable to the eligibility criteria. As there are a limited number of studies performed by rehabilitation specialists and a radiologist, addition of keywords like ‘rehabilitation’ ‘biofeedback’ or ‘physical therapists’ for a matter of fact would have narrowed our inclusion criteria. We included all studies conducted by ‘non-physician rehabilitation providers’ including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and rehabilitation therapists. A scoping review by Roll published in 2015 is on similar lines, highlighting the clinical utility of this useful tool by non-radiologists [1]. Nevertheless, we did not completely exclude the work of radiologists. Note that 3 of the 16 studies included in our review were performed with a radiologist (Dabholkar [2], Harput [3], Chowdhury [4]). …

Abdominale CT bei Kindern: 40% mit Zufallsbefunden

Wird bei Kindern mit stumpfem Trauma eine CT des Bauchraums veranlasst, sind in rund 40% der Fälle Auffälligkeiten zu sehen, die nichts mit dem Trauma zu tun haben. Die allerwenigsten davon sind klinisch relevant.

Genügt die biparametrische MRT für die Prostatadiagnostik?

Die multiparametrische Magnetresonanztomografie hat einen festen Platz im Screening auf klinisch signifikante Prostatakarzinome. Ob auch ein biparametrisches Vorgehen ausreicht, ist in einer Metaanalyse untersucht worden.

Höhere Trefferquoten bei Brustkrebsscreening dank KI?

Künstliche Intelligenz unterstützt bei der Auswertung von Mammografie-Screenings und senkt somit den Arbeitsaufwand für Radiologen. Wie wirken sich diese Technologien auf die Trefferquote und die Falsch-positiv-Rate aus? Das hat jetzt eine Studie aus Schweden untersucht.

KI-gestütztes Mammografiescreening überzeugt im Praxistest

Mit dem Einsatz künstlicher Intelligenz lässt sich die Detektionsrate im Mammografiescreening offenbar deutlich steigern. Mehr unnötige Zusatzuntersuchungen sind laut der Studie aus Deutschland nicht zu befürchten.
