ATSP reports gains in telemedicine usage
The Association of Telemedicine Service Providers has released a report that describes a substantial increase in telemedicine programs and consultations across the U.S. The 1998 Report on U.S. Telemedicine Activity reveals that telemedicine is active in 46 states, with California, New York, Texas, and North Carolina ranking highest in the number of usage incidents. While telemedicine is still being used primarily for specialist consultations and second opinions, such other applications as managing chronic illness, surgical follow-up, and home care are becoming more common.
ATSP of Portland, OR, surveyed 141 programs and identified 16 others for a total of 157 active programs, up from only 10 in 1993. Eighteen new programs were started in 1998, and about 10% of all the programs surveyed are less than a year old. One hundred operate out of academic medical centers and healthcare/hospital networks. More than 45 clinical specialties were represented, with roughly 41,000 teleconsultations in 1997, a 90% increase over the previous year. The number of teleconsultations done in 1998 is expected to reach 58,000. ATSP is offering the 1998 Report on U.S. Telemedicine Activity to nonmembers for $295.

Can Generative AI Facilitate Simulated Contrast Enhancement for Prostate MRI?
January 14th 2025Deep learning synthesis of contrast-enhanced MRI from non-contrast prostate MRI sequences provided an average multiscale structural similarity index of 70 percent with actual contrast-enhanced prostate MRI in external validation testing from newly published research.
Can MRI-Based AI Enhance Risk Stratification in Prostate Cancer?
January 13th 2025Employing baseline MRI and clinical data, an emerging deep learning model was 32 percent more likely to predict the progression of low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) to clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), according to new research.
