C-MIMI: 8 myths about AI in radiology -- and why they're wrong

SAN FRANCISCO - Although radiology has finally warmed to the idea of artificial intelligence (AI), there is still skepticism about its potential. At this week's Conference on Machine Intelligence in Medical Imaging (C-MIMI), AI entrepreneur Jeremy Howard reviewed eight common myths about the use of AI in radiology -- and why they're wrong.

NIH seeks partner for UpRite chest x-ray marker

If you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door, the saying goes. But what if you design a better x-ray marker? The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) has that in mind as it seeks an industry partner to license UpRite, a new type of chest x-ray marker developed by one of its scientists.

Ga-68 FZ-NR-1 PET/CT images and F-18 FDG PET/CT and PET/MRI images in representative nectin-4-positive TNBC patients. (A) PET/CT images and nectin-4 immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining of patient 1. Maximum-intensity projection (MIP) images and axial and coronal PET/CT images of Ga-68 FZ-NR-1 and F-18 FDG both showed high uptake in lung metastases (arrow). (B) PET/CT images and nectin-4 IHC staining of patient 2. MIP images and axial and coronal PET/CT images of Ga-68 FZ-NR-1 showed high uptake in recurrence of right breast cancer after surgery (arrow), and those of F-18 FDG PET/MRI showed high uptake.
