Erik L. Ridley[email protected]Nuclear MedicineAre ventilation scans needed in pulmonary embolism assessments?Are ventilation nuclear medicine lung scans really needed in cases of suspected pulmonary embolism (PE)? Perhaps not, according to two student talks on June 11 at the annual meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI).June 11, 2021Nuclear MedicineAI classifies severity of Parkinson's on 3D SPECTArtificial intelligence (AI)-based analysis of 3D SPECT exams can help physicians to determine a patient's stage of Parkinson's disease, according to research published online May 30 in Expert Systems and Applications.June 9, 2021MRIWeak supervision yields strong results for AI in breast MRIUsing a nontraditional approach to training a deep-learning algorithm yielded higher specificity for classifying lesions found on breast MRI in a study published online June 6 in Academic Radiology.June 7, 2021Digital X-RayModel can predict risk for radiology appointment no-showsMissed appointments can impact patient care and result in a significant revenue shortfall for radiology departments. However, a machine-learning algorithm could help prevent some of these no-shows, according to researchers from the University of Maryland.June 6, 2021Image ProcessingAlgorithm provides accurate segmentation of pancreas on CTDeep-learning algorithms can be used to provide automated and accurate segmentation of the pancreas on CT exams, according to research presented at the recent Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine annual meeting.June 6, 2021Radiation Oncology/TherapyWill physicians trust radiation therapy planned by AI?Radiation oncologists may favor radiation therapy plans produced by a machine-learning algorithm in simulations, but trusting in the plans for clinical use may be a different matter, according to research published online June 3 in Nature Medicine.June 3, 2021Advanced VisualizationAuntMinnie.com Advanced Visualization InsiderJune 2, 2021UltrasoundAI can help stratify COVID-19 risk on lung ultrasoundDeep-learning algorithms can be used to automatically provide risk scores on lung ultrasound exams in COVID-19 patients, researchers from Italy reported in an article published online May 27 in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America.May 31, 2021PACS/VNADitching the disks for image sharing can yield huge savingsDitching CDs and DVDs in favor of electronic medical image exchange can save health systems hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, according to research presented May 26 at the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine annual meeting.May 26, 2021PACS/VNAInteroperability will unleash power of AI for medical imagingInteroperability across health systems could help unleash the power of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging and healthcare overall, according to a keynote talk by Hal Wolf on May 26 at the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine annual meeting.May 25, 2021Previous PagePage 42 of 393Next PageTop StoriesHomeLLMs mostly avoid unnecessary care in Choosing Wisely testsLLMs recommended potentially unnecessary care in about 5% of responses, with many being thyroid ultrasound tests.Nuclear MedicineEANM: Thomas Hope on what’s next in FAP-targeted theranosticsCardiac ImagingMRI shows no ties between COVID, future heart inflammationMolecular ImagingEANM: Next-generation PET scanner cuts imaging time to one minuteAugmented/Virtual RealityVR boosts accuracy, confidence for evaluating abdominal neuroblastoma
