Ridley[email protected]UltrasoundAI could help avoid unnecessary thyroid nodule biopsiesCHICAGO - An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm can accurately predict whether a thyroid nodule is malignant, potentially helping to reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies performed on these patients, according to research presented on Sunday at the RSNA meeting.November 24, 2018AINew AI investment fund links radiologists, start-upsTwo radiologists have launched a new investment fund that aims to bring together radiologists and artificial intelligence (AI) start-ups. With the fund -- called Bold Brain Ventures -- radiologists can both invest in and help develop AI technologies, while AI firms gain access to financial capital and domain expertise.November 20, 2018AIAre 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, 2018Previous PagePage 92 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
