Dear AuntMinnie Member,
Our most popular story this week was a compendium of semifinal candidates for the 2024 Minnies, AuntMinnie.com's annual campaign to recognize the best and brightest in medical imaging. What's on the list so far? Click here to find out.
The second most-read article covered research from the recent American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) meeting regarding the use of Lu-177 dotatate with meningioma patients. Third up was a story on how AI chatbot GPT-4 Vision performs when it comes to answering RSNA "Case of the Day" questions: National Institutes of Health (NIH) investigators found that the bot in its current form doesn't reliably interpret radiologic images.
The fourth most popular story of the week was another article on ASTRO research, this time an exploration of whether brain cancer patients treated with radiation can regain cognitive function lost during treatment. Also of interest to our readers was a study that suggested that MRI can serve as an "early warning" system for brain tumor growth and another that found that ultrasound can detect 96% of ovarian cancers.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and AuntMinnie.com members enjoyed our interview with Molly Guthrie, vice president of policy and advocacy at Susan G. Komen, who outlined the state of breast imaging in 2024.
Finally, don't miss this week's reporting on the RSNA's plan to establish its next Global Learning Center in Peru; inequities in academic radiology salaries, the pros and cons of contrast-enhanced mammography for imaging extremely dense breasts, and the impact of flupiridaz F-18 on heart care.
