Erik L. Ridley[email protected]Industry NewsLancet: Cancer survival rates improve but vary widelyWhile cancer survival rates are generally increasing worldwide, there are still wide and persistent disparities between countries, particularly for some childhood cancers, according to a large study of population-based survival trends published on Tuesday in Lancet.January 30, 2018CTAI, radiomics help distinguish lung nodules on CT scansThe combination of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and radiomics can distinguish malignant from benign lung nodules on noncontrast CT scans, potentially reducing the number of unnecessary surgical interventions in these cases, according to a multi-institutional team from Cleveland.January 30, 2018AIAuntMinnie.com Artificial Intelligence InsiderJanuary 28, 2018ISCMS delay of decision support creates opportunitiesLast year's decision by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to delay implementation of imaging clinical decision-support requirements until 2020 creates an opportunity to win over skeptical clinicians, according to a January 24 webinar from the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine.January 24, 2018MRIMachine learning predicts working-memory performanceCan the combination of a machine-learning algorithm and diffusion MRI metrics of brain white-matter microstructure serve as a useful method for the early prediction of working-memory impairment? It appears possible, according to recent research from NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City.January 22, 2018ISChange buys National Decision Support CompanyIn a bid to advance its goal of providing evidence-based clinical intelligence at the point of care, healthcare information systems company Change Healthcare has purchased clinical decision-support software firm National Decision Support Company.January 17, 2018ISMobile App Spotlight: Case appAuntMinnie.com presents the next article in an ongoing series highlighting notable mobile apps in radiology. In this installment, we take a look at Case, an iOS and Android app developed by mobile app start-up Kernel, designed to help medical researchers and specialists keep up with the latest research.January 16, 2018Nuclear MedicineArtificial intelligence guides lower PET tracer doseIn PET imaging, the amount of radiotracer dose correlates with the level of image quality. But what if artificial intelligence (AI) could enable PET to be performed using only 1% of current dose levels -- speeding exam times, decreasing radiation exposure, lowering costs, and alleviating shortages in radiotracers?January 10, 2018UltrasoundQuantitative analysis may help classify thyroid nodulesThe echogenicity of solid thyroid nodules is often assessed qualitatively during evaluation on ultrasound. But this task can also be performed quantitatively, potentially offering a useful tool for determining malignancy risk, according to research presented at the RSNA 2017 meeting in Chicago.December 21, 2017AIAI can spot large pneumothoraces on chest x-rayArtificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can automatically detect large pneumothoraces on chest x-ray exams -- potentially speeding up the detection and reporting of these critical findings, according to research presented at the RSNA 2017 meeting in Chicago.December 19, 2017Previous PagePage 108 of 393Next PageTop StoriesCTNew benchmark helps monitor cumulative CT radiation doseThe findings highlight the need for systematic dose tracking and rigorous justification of imaging.Radiation Oncology/TherapyStudy questions routine use of radiotherapy after bone surgeryUltrasoundCEUS outshines color Doppler imaging for indeterminate kidney lesionsWomens ImagingWomen's Imaging MinnieCast, Episode 2: Risk-based vs. annual mammography screening, part 1Digital X-RayChest x-rays reveal atherosclerosis in patients undergoing amputations
