fMRI shows how brains rebound from hemispherectomy
By Wayne Forrest
A new study published online November 19 in Cell Reports sheds new light on how some people are able to recover from hemispherectomy -- removal of half their brain -- and still function at a high level. Functional MRI (fMRI) demonstrated how the brain compensates by restoring communication in certain areas to compensate for the loss.

Artificial Intelligence in Breast Cancer Screening: How the World's First and Only Deep-Learning Solution for Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Is Enhancing Patient Care
By Randy D. Hicks, MD, MBA
Although the power of artificial intelligence (AI) has only been harnessed in recent years, it is increasingly being leveraged in healthcare, specifically within the field of radiology. One area within this realm where it is well-positioned to make a significant impact is in breast cancer detection, especially as digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), or 3D mammography, continues to grow rapidly in adoption.

AI is poised to make DBT even better
By Louise Gagnon
While some hurdles still need to be overcome, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images is already showing great promise, according to some of the earliest users of the technology. These early adopters say the combination of AI and DBT is producing benefits for both radiologists and patients.
