It can also predict patient survival by identifying responders and nonresponders to treatment.May 11, 2014Advanced VisualizationAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderMay 6, 2014Image ProcessingAlgorithm spots changes in follow-up brain MRI studiesDetecting changes in follow-up imaging studies can be difficult due to technical factors as well as human error. A software algorithm developed by a Canadian research team may be able to provide radiologists with some assistance.May 6, 2014AIEfficiency, personalized medicine will drive CAD forwardClinical adoption of computer-aided detection (CAD) software has plateaued and has largely been confined to mammography. To change that, next-generation CAD software will need to deliver efficiency gains, interactivity, and algorithms that are personalized for patients, according to Dr. Eliot Siegel of the University of Maryland.April 23, 2014Digital X-RayCAD detects retained surgical items on radiographsRetained surgical items after surgery can be a significant source of mortality, morbidity, and cost. Computer-aided detection (CAD) technology can help prevent these costly errors, however, according to a group from the University of Michigan Health System.April 20, 2014BreastACR, SBI take issue with Swiss NEJM commentaryThe American College of Radiology (ACR) and Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) have issued a joint statement strongly criticizing an article published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine that takes aim at breast cancer screening programs in Switzerland.April 15, 2014ISFederal regulatory plan for health IT wins positive reviewsThe new federal regulatory framework proposed earlier this month for healthcare IT software is getting generally positive reviews from the radiology community.
