Radiology can play a key role in planetary health

U.S. health care, including radiology, is both a large polluter and extremely resource intensive, yet planetary health and sustainability is an emerging field and likely an unfamiliar topic for most radiologists.

AI spots unidentified brain tumor on PET imaging

An AI algorithm designed for brain PET imaging found a glioblastoma in a patient that had gone undetected by physicians.

February 20, 2024

Baseline scan (A), segmentation results (B), and follow-up scan (C) from patient with molecular glioblastoma. Baseline MRI showed FLAIR hyperintensities in left thalamus and frontoparietal region (white arrowheads). In contrast to expert segmentation, in which only left thalamic region showed slightly increased uptake (red contour), AI algorithm identified additional frontoparietal lesion on baseline PET that subsequently progressed to contrast-enhancing and metabolically active lesion (red arrowheads).

Can radiologists’ eye-tracking data enhance AI?

Integrating eye-tracking data that map how radiologists interpret x-rays into deep learning AI algorithms could be key to developing more “human-centered” AI.

Radiologists ‘compete’ on chest x-rays reads with and without AI

In a study described as a “competition between radiologists,” participants tasked with identifying abnormal findings on chest x-rays performed better with AI assistance than without AI assistance – though not by much and not in all cases.
