Carestream Health of Rochester, NY, has won an order for three of its DRX-1 wireless digital radiography (DR) detectors to be used in preparation for imaging athletes at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Homerton University Hospital is located two miles from the main Olympic venues in London. The hospital installed the detectors to add DR functionality to its existing radiography equipment and help it handle an expected increase in workload due to the 100,000 people expected to attend the 2012 games.

Can AI help chest DDR achieve clinical adoption?
By Will Morton
Chest dynamic digital radiography (DDR) may have received a boost toward clinical use in patients with lung disorders, with researchers developing AI to perform time-consuming analysis involved in the technology.

(a) Raw example of a dynamic digital radiograph. (b) Contrast equalization using contrast-limited adaptive equalization shows improved anatomical visualization. (c) Training data is generated through manually labeling using SLEAP’s graphical user interface. (d-e) Neural network detection schematic. For each quadrant a series of two networks were used. The first identifies the quadrant center, the second using input of the first, then identifies individual anatomical landmarks within a quadrant. (d) Four neural networks were trained, each with the objective of identifying a chest quadrant centroid. The four separate quadrants are visualized as colored boxes (right upper quadrant, green; right lower quadrant, blue; left upper quadrant, red; left lower quadrant, yellow). (e) Serial centroid then anatomical identification. Two quadrant examples showing confidence maps of trained neural networks identifying quadrant centroids (left) and then anatomical confidence maps (right).
