If only speech recognition understood what radiologists were saying.
Radiologists don’t need a reminder that there are a lot of things wrong with radiology reports.Curtis Langlotz, MD, Ph.D., professor of radiology and medicine at Stanford University Medical Center wrote a book on how to improve the radiology report.The Radiology Report: A Guide to Thoughtful Communication for Radiologists and Other Medical Professionals touches on many of the challenges radiology reports present, including the general disagreement of what actually constitutes a good radiology report. The book offers helpful, actionable advice on creating radiology reports.But it also mentions one of the greatest frustrations of the radiology report: technology. Here, we’ve assembled 11 speech recognition bloopers Langlotz describes in his book. Because if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry.Â
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
