Small vs Large Focal Spot in Coronary CT Angiography: Phantom Study with Super-Resolution DL Reconstruction

In phantom coronary CT angiography with super-resolution DL reconstruction, small focal spot improved spatial resolution but increased noise for 16-31 cm diameters; at 36 cm, small spot reduced high-frequency noise. Optimal focal spot choice depends on patient size.

Baseline PSMA PET/CT tumor volume improves survival prediction in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer

In 204 patients with synchronous metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, baseline PSMA PET/CT total tumor volume (PSMA-TV) independently predicted overall survival (HR 1.39 per doubling, p<0.001). A model combining PSMA-TV and performance status had C-index 0.71. An explor…

Nearly 16% of Michigan counties lack MRI access; rural counties face 19-mile average distance to a scanner

Nearly 16% of Michigan counties—all rural—lack access to a fixed MRI scanner. Average straight-line distance to a scanner is 19 miles (vs 7 urban miles). Each 10-mile distance increase raises odds of mobile MRI placement (adjusted odds ratio 1.46).
