Advances in AI — November 2024

EchoGo Amyloidosis, an echocardiography-based AI screening software, demonstrated a 93 percent AUROC for cardiac amyloidosis detection in a new multicenter study.

In a second part of a new podcast episode on recently published research on projected radiation-induced cancers from computed tomography (CT) scans, Mahadevappa Mahesh, MS, Ph.D., and Joseph Cavallo, M.D., offer current perspectives on cardiac CT dosing, AI advances and the importance of teamwork in ensuring appropriate dosing for CT.

Findings from the TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 6 study revealed a 41 percent reduction of the ARIA-E side effect at 24 weeks with the new dosing schedule for the anti-amyloid treatment donanemab-azbt.

In the third episode of a three-part podcast, Anand Narayan, M.D., Ph.D., and Amy Patel, M.D., discuss the challenges of expanded breast cancer screening amid a backdrop of radiologist shortages and ever-increasing volume on radiology worklists.

In external testing, a model combining radiological complete response on breast MRI, nodal status and Ki-67 proliferation index yielded an 88 percent AUC for predicting pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy for patients with triple-negative breast cancer, according to new research.

The diagnostic tomographic 3D ultrasound imaging technology PIUR tUS inside will reportedly be available with select GE HealthCare Logiq systems.
