This nomogram outperformed radiologist interpretation or clinical factors alone, representing a useful tool in this difficult-to-diagnose disease.

Does the classic imaging finding, the central vein sign, make an impact on the diagnosis? And does contrast media improve detecting the central vein sign? Yes and yes, according to a study discussed by Juliet Alla, MD.

Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/full/10.2214/AJR.22.27895 AI algorithm application to contrast-enhanced chest CT, in comparison with clinical reports, resulted in high negative predictive value and moderate positive predictive value with high number of false positives in incidental pulmonary embolism detection, which raises the question: help or hindrance? Rachana Borkar MBBS, DMRD, DNB discusses potential benefits include second reads, worklist triage in high volume settings, and expedited treatment of incidentally detected pulmonary embolisms.

Given the higher rate of high-risk lesions in the setting of multiple ADs, biopsy of each site may be warranted.
