June 7th 2023
Five artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for mammography assessment were better at predicting breast cancer risk over five years than the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) risk model, according to new retrospective research involving over 13,000 women.
AI May Bolster Assessment of Pulmonary Nodules on Chest CT
May 24th 2022A new study revealed that an emerging artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled software tool led to improved sensitivity, specificity and inter-observer agreement for the diagnosis of indeterminate pulmonary nodules on chest computed tomography (CT) scans.
Another Perspective on Private Equity-Backed Radiology Practices
May 10th 2022While some have raised questions and concerns about a possible loss of autonomy with the increasing presence of private equity in radiology, this author says potential benefits of such an alliance, including access to new technologies, career development and a strong patient focus, go beyond the expected economies of scale.
Can Deep Learning Ultrasound Assessment be a Viable Option for Diagnosing Ovarian Cancer?
April 20th 2022A new study suggests that deep learning algorithms with multimodal ultrasound have comparable specificity and sensitivity to subjective expert assessment and use of the O-RADS classification to distinguish between benign and malignant ovarian tumors.
FDA Issues Advisory on Use of AI and Machine Learning for Large Vessel Occlusion in the Brain
April 15th 2022The advisory emphasizes that the computer-aided triage and notification (CADt) devices, many of which incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning technology, are intended to aid radiologists in prioritizing the assessment of brain imaging that may reveal signs of large vessel occlusion (LVO).
Fracture Detection: Study Suggests AI Assessment May Be as Effective as Clinician Assessment
April 1st 2022The authors of a new meta-analysis found no significant differences between clinicians and artificial intelligence in diagnosing fractures but conceded that slightly over half of the studies assessed had a high risk of potential bias.
Study Offers Closer Look at AI-Enabled Tool for Assessing Breast Density
March 21st 2022The artificial intelligence (AI) model reportedly had an 89.3 accuracy rate in differentiating between non-dense and dense breasts on mammography scans, and a 90.4 percent rate of agreement with human radiologist reviewers.
Could an AI-Powered Enhancement of MRI be a Pre-Op Game Changer for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty?
February 28th 2022A new artificial intelligence tool reportedly overcomes resolution issues of standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans with 3D images of the shoulder bones and may eliminate pre-operative use of computed tomography (CT) for total shoulder arthroplasty procedures.
Assessing and Implementing Artificial Intelligence in Radiology
February 21st 2022In a recent video interview, Nina Kottler, MD, discussed the promise of artificial intelligence (AI) for improving workflow efficiency for radiologists, keys to assessing AI vendors and change management principles for facilitating implementation of AI into one’s practice.
Philips Expands Imaging Capabilities on Handheld Ultrasound Device
February 10th 2022In addition to newly added advances with hemodynamic assessment and obstetric measurements, Lumify also offers a B-line quantification tool and AI-enhanced algorithms that may bolster ultrasound lung imaging in severe COVID-19 cases.
