Erik L. Ridley[email protected]UltrasoundUltrasound CADx software can stratify thyroid nodulesAlthough it doesn't perform as well as a sonography expert, ultrasound computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) software can still be useful for stratifying thyroid nodules by their risk of malignancy, according to research published online April 11 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.April 14, 2019AI5 ways artificial intelligence can augment cliniciansArtificial intelligence (AI) can augment the work of clinicians in five key areas: prognosis, diagnosis, treatment, workflow, and expanding the availability of clinical expertise, according to a review article published April 4 in the New England Journal of Medicine. But key challenges remain.April 4, 2019AIFDA eyes new framework for AI that continuously learnsThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced an effort to develop a new regulatory framework for medical artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that reflects the fact that these tools are continuously learning and evolving from experience gained in real-world clinical use.April 2, 2019Radiation Oncology/TherapyAI improves contouring accuracy for radiation oncologyAn artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm can provide accurate, fast, and automated contouring of primary tumor volumes on multiparametric MR images of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, potentially improving outcomes from radiation therapy, according to research published online March 26 in Radiology.April 1, 2019AIIs blockchain ready for radiology?Blockchain technology could have many exciting applications in radiology and also facilitate the development of artificial intelligence algorithms. But key hurdles remain in the way of adoption of the technology, said Dr. Woojin Kim, who recently spoke in a webinar held by the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine.March 31, 2019AIAI algorithm identifies pacemaker type on radiographsArtificial intelligence (AI) software can quickly identify cardiac rhythm devices such as pacemakers on x-ray images, which could possibly speed up the diagnosis and treatment of emergent patients with faulty devices, according to research published online March 27 in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology.March 27, 2019AIAI outperforms physicians for interpreting chest x-raysAn artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm was able to identify major thoracic diseases on chest radiographs better than even thoracic radiologists could, offering potential to improve the quality and efficiency of clinical practice, according to a study published online March 22 in JAMA Network Open.March 27, 2019AIAre AI algorithms vulnerable to manipulation by users?Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms in healthcare -- including those used in medical imaging -- are vulnerable to being manipulated by users to produce inaccurate results, and now is the time to consider how to defend against these adversarial attacks, according to an article published March 22 in Science.March 26, 2019AIAI and radiologists: Better together in screening mammoCan an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm interpret screening mammograms as accurately as expert radiologists can? Yes, but an approach that blends analysis from both AI and radiologists yields the best performance, according to research published March 21 on arXiv.org.March 25, 2019UltrasoundAI characterizes breast masses on ultrasoundAn artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm distinguished between benign and malignant masses on breast ultrasound at a high level of accuracy -- perhaps even exceeding the diagnostic performance of less-experienced radiologists, according to research published online March 19 in the Japanese Journal of Radiology.March 20, 2019Previous PagePage 85 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
