Erik L. Ridley[email protected]UltrasoundUSPSTF discourages thyroid cancer screeningCiting the lack of evidence for an overall benefit as well as the risk of harm from overdiagnosis and overtreatment, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has finalized its recommendation against the use of screening with neck palpation or ultrasound for thyroid cancer in low-risk, asymptomatic adults.May 9, 2017AIAI start-up eyes deep learning to aid imaging in ChinaAn artificial intelligence (AI) start-up in China is seeking to use deep learning to help address the country's severe shortage of radiologists. The firm believes its algorithms will make radiologists more efficient by helping them read images faster and focus more attention on abnormal exams.May 7, 2017AIPart 2: How will AI affect radiology?How will artificial intelligence (AI) influence radiology? Although it won't replace radiologists anytime soon, the technology is poised to dramatically affect the discipline. In the second part of this series, we look at barriers to the adoption of AI, as well as its potential impact on radiology over the next 30 years.May 1, 2017AIPart 1: How will AI affect radiology?No, artificial intelligence (AI) won't replace radiologists anytime soon -- if it ever will. But the technology is poised to dramatically affect the practice of radiology by optimizing workflow, facilitating quantitative radiology, and even finding genomic markers not currently seen by radiologists.April 30, 2017ISCan AI accurately diagnose tuberculosis from chest x-rays?Artificial intelligence (AI) software can accurately identify tuberculosis on chest radiographs, offering the potential to serve as an inexpensive or even free method to screen for the often deadly disease in underserved countries, according to a study published online April 25 in Radiology.April 25, 2017UltrasoundShear-wave elastography spots Achilles tendinopathyShear-wave elastography is sensitive and specific for detecting injuries to the Achilles tendon, and it can serve as a more objective method than other imaging modalities for diagnosis and treatment, according to research from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.April 19, 2017CTShould ultrasound replace CT for asymptomatic hematuria?The combination of renal ultrasound and cystoscopy is the most cost-effective strategy for evaluating patients with asymptomatic microscopic hematuria, potentially saving hundreds of millions of dollars compared with CT and cystoscopy, according to research published online April 17 in JAMA Internal Medicine.April 17, 2017ISCan machine learning and MRI diagnose depression?Can machine learning be used to diagnose serious cases of depression based on data from MRI scans in adults, potentially even before they begin showing symptoms? Yes, it can, according to a proof-of-concept study being published in the June issue of Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging.April 12, 2017UltrasoundWhat role should contrast US have for kidney lesions?Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is highly sensitive for characterizing indeterminate kidney lesions, but its specificity may be low when used by inexperienced readers, as well as in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease, according to research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.April 11, 2017UltrasoundAuntMinnie.com Ultrasound InsiderApril 9, 2017Previous PagePage 120 of 389Next PageTop StoriesPractice ManagementNYU researcher's new book explores how imaging is 'changing our world'Imaging is a "transformative technology," said author Daniel Sodickson, MD, PhD.Womens ImagingMirai shows promise for detecting interval breast cancersMRIRadiomics models based on pituitary MRI predict GHDInterventionalEVT improves outcomes in stroke patients over age 90Sponsor ContentJoin Us!
