The college's new Data Science Institute plans to work with industry partners and regulators to spur the adoption of these tools in clinical practice.May 21, 2017ISCan radiologists make reports simpler for patients?Can radiologists learn to make their radiology reports simpler and easier to understand for patients? Yes, they can -- if they receive just a little training on how to write more effectively, according to research published online May 8 in the Journal of Digital Imaging.May 18, 2017UltrasoundContrast US helps assess breast cancer treatment responseYielding comparable tumor measurements and accuracy, contrast-enhanced ultrasound can be a viable alternative to contrast-enhanced MRI for assessing breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, according to research published in the May issue of the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.May 15, 2017UltrasoundUSPSTF 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, 2017Previous PagePage 123 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
