This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge and the growing body of research literature, illustrating innovative applications and perspectives through case examples.We conducted a structured literature review, identifying relevant studies via Google Scholar and PubMed, using the keywords \"photon-counting detector\", \"cardiovascular CT\", \"cardiac CT\", and \"ultra-high-resolution CT\". We analyzed studies published since January 2015. Additionally, we integrated our own clinical experiences and case examples.In addition to the well-known benefit of increased temporal resolution offered by dual-source scanners, dual-source PCD-CT provides three key advantages: 1) Optimized geometric dose efficiency with an improved contrast-to-noise ratio, 2) intrinsic spectral sensitivity, and 3) the ability for ultrahigh-resolution CT. This technology enables improved image quality or radiation dose reduction in established cardiovascular protocols. Its use in non-invasive cardiac diagnostics for obese patients, those with a high plaque burden, or after stent implantation appears technically feasible, potentially expanding the scope of CT. The spectral sensitivity also allows tailored image acquisition, reducing metallic artifacts and contrast agent doses in patients with renal impairment. Early studies and clinical experience support these potential applications of PCD-CT in cardiovascular diagnostics, suggesting workflow optimization and improved patient management.However, challenges remain, including high costs, large data volumes, somewhat longer reconstruction times, and technical difficulties in combining spectral sensitivity with ultra-high resolution. Prospective randomized studies with clinical endpoints are lacking to confirm the clear advantage over conventional scanners. Future research should focus on endpoint-based studies and robust cost-benefit analyses to evaluate the potential of this technology and facilitate its evidence-based integration in clinical practice. · Photon-counting detector CT represents a technological advancement in computed tomography.. · Spectral sensitivity enhances iodine signal and minimizes artifacts.. · Ultra-high-resolution CT allows precise imaging, even in stents and advanced sclerosis.. · This technology must be validated through endpoint-based, randomized studies.. · Hagar MT, Schlett CL, Oechsner T et al.

MRI can help diagnosing the cause of elbow pain.Based on a systematic literature search as well as knowledge gained through frequent participation in conferences dedicated to advances in musculoskeletal imaging, this review aims to give a brief overview of normal anatomy and common pathologies of tendons and ligaments of the elbow on magnetic resonance imaging.Stabilization of the elbow joint is provided by osseous structures and passive ligamentous and active muscular support. Loss of these important stabilizers, due to trauma and overuse, can result in elbow instability. Additional MR views or intra-articular contrast media can be useful for the detection of specific pathologies.MRI is frequently used to detect posttraumatic or chronic conditions, which can lead to posterolateral or posteromedial elbow instability.

Rates of missed pathologies depend on work experience of the respective radiologists. Thus the aim of this study is to analyze the eye movements of professionals while reading CT images in order to evaluate whether the eye-fixation patterns and search strategies of experienced radiologists could explain higher detection rates of pathologies and whether such patterns can be learned.Anonymized images of 10 patients were presented to three medical students and six radiologists with different levels of work experience. During image analysis, ocular fixation positions were recorded using an eye-tracking software tool. The CT scans were analyzed retrospectively, considering the individual course of disease with the issue of successful detection of all pathologies. Visual attention and dwell time of ocular fixation on clinically important abnormalities or areas with pathological findings, general search patterns, and time efficiency were assessed. For statistical analysis, interobserver variability and accuracy of lesion detection were evaluated taking into account individual experience.The results revealed that observer sensitivity depends on work experience due to a more systematic order of inspection and a well-known course of disease, e.g. in case of metastatic spread. The areas of missed pathologies mostly included secondary findings. Inexperienced readers changed the stratification considerably more often and required more time for reporting or detecting pathologies.Our results suggest that experienced radiological physicians reduce their amount of missed findings by looking more systematically at images and by applying a more targeted inspection of clinically important regions. · CT interpretation by radiology residents is faster and less error-prone compared to postgraduate residents. · systematic image analysis is trainable. · engrams tend to be acquired through experience. · Kluge S, Schülke C, Ites HC et al.

These models could be invaluable resources for medical students, by simplifying complex concepts and enhancing interactive learning by providing personalized support. LLMs have shown impressive performance in professional examinations, even without specific domain training, making them particularly relevant in the medical field. This study aims to assess the performance of LLMs in radiology examinations for medical students, thereby shedding light on their current capabilities and implications.This study was conducted using 151 multiple-choice questions, which were used for radiology exams for medical students. The questions were categorized by type and topic and were then processed using OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT- 4 via their API, or manually put into Perplexity AI with GPT-3.5 and Bing. LLM performance was evaluated overall, by question type and by topic.GPT-3.5 achieved a 67.6% overall accuracy on all 151 questions, while GPT-4 outperformed it significantly with an 88.1% overall accuracy (p<0.001). GPT-4 demonstrated superior performance in both lower-order and higher-order questions compared to GPT-3.5, Perplexity AI, and medical students, with GPT-4 particularly excelling in higher-order questions.
