Erik L. Ridley[email protected]AIAre medical students avoiding radiology because of AI?Are some medical students choosing not to pursue radiology as their specialty due to concerns over the potential effects of artificial intelligence (AI)? The answer appears to be yes, according to results from a survey of Canadian medical students published online November 11 in Academic Radiology.November 12, 2018ISOIG finds FDA lacking in postmarket cybersecurity plansAfter calling on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in September to further integrate cybersecurity into its premarket review process, the U.S. Office of Inspector General (OIG) has now deemed the FDA's policies and processes to be "deficient" for addressing postmarket cybersecurity incidents with medical devices.November 11, 2018ISCan local use guidelines reduce inappropriate imaging?Imaging utilization rules based on national guidelines may not cover all clinical circumstances. Appropriate use criteria based on local best practices can fill this gap, however, and help avoid inappropriate imaging, according to research published online November 7 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.November 11, 2018ISRoad to RSNA 2018: Imaging InformaticsOur final destination on the Road to RSNA is imaging informatics, and specifically PACS, cybersecurity, structured reporting, clinical decision support, radiation dose-monitoring software, analytics, and issues regarding patient access to radiology results.November 7, 2018ISPatients often struggle to comprehend radiology reportsThursday, November 29 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | IN235-SD-THB1 | Lakeside, IN Community, Station 1Neuroradiology CT and MRI reports are written at a level too high for the average patient to understand, according to this poster presentation.November 7, 2018ISNatural language processing yields rad-path correlationThursday, November 29 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSQ11-08 | Room S103ABResearchers from California will reveal how natural language processing technology can facilitate the correlation between radiologic and pathologic findings.November 7, 2018ISSoftware enables use of quantitative imaging biomarkersThursday, November 29 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SSQ11-07 | Room S103ABA group from Stanford University will showcase a software plug-in that can make it easier for radiologists to assess quantitative imaging biomarkers when evaluating patient response to cancer treatment.November 7, 2018ISRadiation dose analytics improves patient safetyThursday, November 29 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSQ18-06 | Room N228Retrospective quantitative assessment of radiation dose on CT studies can yield valuable insights for improving consistency and patient safety, researchers from Duke University have found.November 7, 2018ISMachine-learning software predicts need for CT contrastThursday, November 29 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSQ11-06 | Room S103ABIn this talk, researchers from California will present their machine learning-based method for automatically determining if contrast is needed for a CT exam.November 7, 2018ISSoftware standardizes proprietary imaging annotationsThursday, November 29 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | SSQ11-05 | Room S103ABImaging annotations stored in a proprietary fashion can be converted into a standardized format, enabling interoperability and automated lesion matching across sequential imaging studies, according to this presentation.November 7, 2018Previous PagePage 88 of 389Next PageTop StoriesUltrasoundActive thyroid surveillance effective, beneficial for older patientsActive surveillance with ultrasound and pathology is effective for patients with early-stage thyroid cancer, especially older ones.Molecular ImagingFES-PET shows promise staging women with invasive lobular cancerCTStructured CT reporting tool may aid hernia detection after bariatric surgeryMRIHigher ventricular and atrial heart volumes boost cardiac disease riskWomens ImagingHybrid AI reading shows success in breast cancer screening
