Week in Review: AI-calculated BACs | Who is responsible for MRI safety? | Protecting echocardiographers

Dear AuntMinnie Member,

Our top AuntMinnie story of the week covered research that found that breast imaging features such as arterial calcifications analyzed by AI could help predict cardiovascular events in women, with a team out of Emory University in Atlanta reporting that this approach adds prognostic value to the Predicting Risk of cardiovascular disease EVENTs (PREVENT) score.

Our second most popular content item was an “Invisible Force” podcast episode that explored the question of who is ultimately responsible for ensuring MRI safety. Readers also showed interest in research regarding how an intervention involving suspended lead suits reduces head-level radiation doses to interventional echocardiographers.

We’ve continued to offer reporting from the ECR, including a presentation delivered by Linda Moy, MD, of NYU Langone Health in New York City on how AI shows promise for improving BI-RADS in measuring breast cancer risk (access full ECR coverage here). And in fifth place for the week was an article on a new MRI scoring system for predicting early liver cancer.
