The PACSman Pontificates: Anything you can do I can do better
August 12, 2022 -- The PACSman -- Michael J. Cannavo -- doesn't really hate artificial intelligence (AI), although he gets that question all the time. In a new column, Mike explains why he's still skeptical about the role of AI in radiology. Read More
ABAIR aims to educate radiology administrators, techs on AI
August 8, 2022 -- Radiologists aren’t the only ones who have to learn about artificial intelligence (AI); radiology administrators and radiologic technologists also must get comfortable with the technology. A new organization called the American Board of Artificial Intelligence in Radiology (ABAIR) aims to meet their needs. Read More
AI, MRI show overlap between psychosis, dementia
August 4, 2022 -- A machine-learning algorithm's analysis of brain MRI exams has revealed the presence of neurobiological links between dementia and psychosis, according to research published online August 3 in JAMA Psychiatry. Read More
2-stage AI process helps grade severity of COVID on x-rays
July 29, 2022 -- A new two-stage process for using artificial intelligence (AI) to grade the severity of COVID-19 infection on chest x-rays could work better than existing AI-based algorithms, say researchers who described their process in a paper published July 27 in Scientific Reports. Read More
Risk scores can help assessment of dense breast tissue
July 28, 2022 -- Breast density continues to be a challenge for breast radiologists, but recent research sheds new light on how breast imagers can refine cancer risk estimates for women with dense breast tissue. Read More
ECR 2022 Rewind: AI advances are tops among trends on display

Embracing and accelerating AI in healthcare
July 27, 2022 -- Artificial intelligence (AI) is being woven into the fabric of our everyday lives. Yet for some, AI still generates some concern. Industry expert Morris Panner discusses some of the incredible benefits to the use of AI, particularly in healthcare. Read More
AI algorithm spots rare bone tumors on radiographs
July 25, 2022 -- An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm was able to classify bone lesions with a very high level of sensitivity, potentially enabling rare but often deadly bone tumors to be detected sooner, according to research from Israel. Read More
ECR: CT radiomics can aid in characterizing renal cysts
July 18, 2022 -- The combination of CT radiomics and a machine-learning algorithm can help predict if a renal cyst is benign or malignant, potentially helping to avoid unnecessary surgeries, research presented at ECR 2022 indicates. Read More
ECR: AI cuts radiologist workload by prioritizing mammography
July 18, 2022 -- Using an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to triage screening mammography exams for interpretation both cuts radiologists' recall rates and their daily reading list, according to a presentation delivered on July 16 at ECR 2022. Read More
