AI model detects esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions on noncontrast chest CT

An AI model (EAGLE) analyzing noncontrast chest CT achieved 90.0% sensitivity for esophageal cancer and 98.5% specificity in external multicenter testing (11,466 patients), and 99.94% specificity in low-dose screening. Could enable opportunistic esophageal cancer screening.

Abbreviated Breast MRI Shows No Performance Gap vs Full Protocols in Dense Breasts

Abbreviated breast MRI shows no significant sensitivity/specificity difference vs full MRI for screening extremely dense breasts, reducing scan and reading times. Best as an indication-specific strategy; limitations for lobular cancer, small lesions, and non-mass enhancement.
