Radiology Cardiothoracic Imaging Podcast | RSNA

Host Praveen Ranganath (@PraveenRangana9) is joined by Dr. Bob De Vos (@BobdeVos) to discuss his recent publication in the journal on a novel automatic calcium scoring tool for lung cancer screening CTs. The investigators used machine learning and a slab-based calcium characterization technique on chest CTs to predict cardiovascular disease risk in a large lung cancer screening cohort. Tune in and find out more!

Dr. Kyle Hasenstab @khasenst and Dr. Albert Hsiao @HsiaoMDPhD join Praveen @PraveenRangana9 on the podcast to discuss their publication in the journal "Automated CT Staging of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Severity" @RadiologyCTI on an automated COPD CT staging system using a deep learning model. How does this CT staging system perform in predicting GOLD stage, spirometric disease progression, and mortality? Tune in and find out!

Host Praveen Ranganath @PraveenRangana9 speaks with Dr. Mark Hammer from the Brigham and Women's Hospital about his recent publication in the journal titled "Cost Effectiveness of Management Algorithms for Lung-RADS Category 4 Nodules" . Conversation topics include lung cancer screening CT, current guidelines for managing suspicious nodules, and principles of cost-effectiveness research. Which management algorithms for suspicious nodules are cost effective? Tune in and find out!

Omar Dzaye, radiologist and researcher at Johns Hopkins specializing in coronary calcium imaging. Michael Blaha, preventive cardiology physician-scientist focused on risk stratification. They discuss differences between large retrospective and prospective cohorts, sex and race differences in CAC risk, the meaning of very high CAC and the power of a zero score, CAC on routine chest CTs, and future consortium plans.
