X-Ray

In a recently issued statement from multiple radiology societies including the RSNA and ACR, researchers offer practical advice for evaluating artificial intelligence (AI) tools, implementing AI into current workflows and monitoring of the technology to help ensure optimal benefit and effectiveness.

While CT, MRI and X-rays provide more of a workout for one’s radiological skills, more occasional spurts of DEXA scans and Doppler ultrasounds can provide comfortable diversions on worklists.

In addition to high-quality X-ray and fluoroscopic images, the DRX-Excel Plus X-ray System provides automated filter selection, grid parking and positioning of table axes.

In part of an ongoing multicenter study evaluating commercial artificial intelligence (AI) products in radiology, AI lung nodule detection software from four out of seven vendors demonstrated stand-alone AUCs ranging from 5 to 12 percent higher than the mean AUC of 17 reviewing radiologists.

A comfortable environment for reading CTs, MRIs and X-rays may be conducive to less interruptions and longer intervals at radiology workstations.

Tailored for incidental findings on chest radiographs, the qXR for Lung Nodule (qXR-LN) software utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to help detect suspected pulmonary nodules ranging between 6 to 30 mm.
