Case example of a false-negative AI result. An 85-year-old female presented to the emergency department with dyspnea. Axial 0.625-mm from CT pulmonary angiography examination with contrast (CTPA) images demonstrate a thin, linear right-sided filling defect extending from the right interlobar pulmonary artery (A and B, red arrows) into the right middle lobar artery (B, yellow arrow), consistent with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). The finding was described in the radiology report; however, the AI result was negative for PE. Adjudication was consistent with acute PE.

How best to characterize CT lung findings after radiation therapy
By Kate Madden Yee
Serial chest CT is cornerstone of post-RT surveillance, but "accurate interpretation is critical to avoid misdiagnosis."

Acute radiation-induced pneumonitis after SBRT (65 Gy, four fractions) in a 53-year-old woman with leiomyosarcoma of the uterus with a left lower lobe metastasis manifesting as a small nodule (not shown). (A) Axial dosimetric reconstruction of a CT image obtained for SBRT planning shows the metastasis receiving the maximal isodose (6500 cGy). (B) Axial CT image obtained 12 months after completion of RT shows focal ground-glass and consolidative opacities confined to the treatment plan (arrow). Note that acute lung injury with SBRT typically manifests later than with conventional RT (i.e., >12 weeks after completion of therapy), and in 25% of patients, the first CT manifestations occur more than one year after completion of RT.
