Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/molecular-imaging/article/15830001/brain-pet-scans-reveal-neuron-loss-in-long-covidAuntMinnieen2026-07-14T18:51:54.000ZBrain PET scans reveal neuron loss in long COVIDhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/long-covid-dopamine.vPPvWQrzs4.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Representative participant from each group shown. C-11 DTBZ non-displaceable binding potential (BPND) in voxels quantitated with simplified reference tissue model 2.
