Imaging squeaks into top 10 list of medical milestones
Medical imaging was voted as the ninth greatest medical milestone since 1840, trailing the pill but besting computers, according to an open online poll conducted by the British Medical Journal.
Medical imaging was voted as the ninth greatest medical milestone since 1840, trailing the pill but besting computers, according to an open online poll conducted by the British Medical Journal.
Sanitation, antibiotics, and anesthesia stood at the top, garnering 16%, 14.5%, and 14% of the votes, respectively. Vaccines and the discovery of the DNA structure rounded out the top five. The oral contraceptive pill, germ theory, and evidence-based medicine made the list before medical imaging attracted 4% of the votes. Computers fell into the number 10 spot (BMJ 2007;334:online).
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.
