Erik L. Ridley[email protected]BreastAI algorithm uses color to better detect breast cancerMaking use of a false-color enhancement technique that converts black-and-white shadows on mammograms into color, a deep-learning algorithm can achieve accuracy similar to an expert radiologist's for detecting breast cancer, according to research published online June 27 in the Journal of Digital Imaging.July 5, 2017Advanced VisualizationVirtual, augmented reality may remake medical imagingVirtual and augmented reality technologies can help radiologists perceive 3D image data more intuitively and show promise for significantly enhancing both diagnostic and interventional radiology, according to a June 29 webinar sponsored by the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine.June 29, 2017UltrasoundCan mild carotid atherosclerosis hurt mental cognition?Can subclinical carotid atherosclerosis as identified on ultrasound negatively affect cognitive performance? Yes -- at least in individuals who carry a genotype known to increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, according to research published in the July issue of Stroke.June 27, 2017CTFujitsu develops AI to analyze CT studiesFujitsu Laboratories has unveiled artificial intelligence (AI)-based technology that can find and retrieve CT studies of patients who have similar diseases.June 26, 2017CTAI can yield patient-specific radiation dose estimatesA machine-learning algorithm shows potential for facilitating the holy grail of real-time, patient-specific radiation dose estimates from CT scans, according to research presented at the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine annual meeting earlier this month in Pittsburgh.June 21, 2017ISFDA set to unveil new digital health devices initiativeThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will soon unveil a new plan aimed at fostering innovation in digital health, according to a blog post by FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb.June 20, 2017UltrasoundElastography can help evaluate carotid plaqueA shear-wave ultrasound elastography method can be used to evaluate the stability of carotid plaques, helping to identify those that are most vulnerable to rupturing and causing a stroke, according to a study published in the June issue of the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.June 18, 2017UltrasoundStudy questions use of FAST exam for kids with traumaCan a focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) exam improve the clinical care of hemodynamically stable children who have blunt trauma to the torso? Apparently not, according to research published June 13 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.June 13, 2017MRICan AI predict treatment response in bipolar patients?Can the same type of artificial intelligence (AI) technology used in fighter pilot combat simulation be used to predict how patients with bipolar disorder will respond to treatment? Yes, according to research published online in Bipolar Disorders.June 13, 2017AIDeep learning can detect location of PICC line tipsA deep-learning algorithm that can prescreen chest radiographs for an incorrectly positioned peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) was presented at the recent Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine annual meeting. The algorithm can alert radiologists to immediately prioritize those cases.June 11, 2017Previous PagePage 117 of 389Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingExperts issue appropriate use criteria for molecular breast imagingThe criteria offer use scenarios for technetium-99 (Tc-99m) sestamibi-based gamma camera imaging of the breast.MRIfMRI: Cognitive behavioral therapy positively affects the brainPractice ManagementPost Cures Act, outpatients access radiology reports fasterMRIMRI may help guide brachial plexus surgeryAIShould hospitals pursue local domain LLM adaptation for radiology reports?
