Viz.ai Gets FDA Nod for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Module
August 16th 2023The De Novo approval for Viz HCM, which assesses electrocardiograms with artificial intelligence (AI) to identify possible cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), is the 12th FDA clearance of algorithms on the Viz.ai Platform.
Large Mammography Study Shows Significant Benefits with AI-Aided Screening
August 1st 2023Reportedly the first randomized trial to examine the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on screening mammography, researchers found AI-aided screening led to a 20 percent increase in breast cancer detection and a 44.3 percent decrease in mammography screening workload.
Researchers Note Lack of Benefit with AI in Women with Dense Breasts
July 28th 2023In a study of over 1.300 women with dense breasts, the combination of mammography and ultrasound had a recall rate of 11.7 percent, a specificity rate of 89.1 percent and an accuracy rate of 89.2 percent in comparison to a 21.4 percent recall rate, 79.4 percent specificity and 79.5 percent accuracy for the combination of mammography, ultrasound, and artificial intelligence (AI).
Mammography-Based Deep Learning Model May Help Detect Precancerous Changes in High-Risk Women
July 27th 2023In a dataset enriched for African American women, BRCA mutation carriers and those with benign breast disease, a mammography-based deep learning model demonstrated a five-year AUC of 63 percent for predicting breast cancer in comparison to 54 percent for BI-RADS assessment.
Study: AI Assessment of Chest CT May Predict Multiple Mortality Risks
July 26th 2023In a study of over 20,700 people, researchers found that artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of body composition measurements via lung cancer screening computed tomography (CT) exams improves the prediction of mortality risks for lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality.
