Industry News: medavis looks at RIS workflow

In a recent video interview, Kathy Schilling, M.D., discussed findings from a study of ProFound AI, an adjunctive artificial intelligence (AI) software for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), that demonstrated a 23 percent increase in breast cancer detection in comparison to DBT alone.

Comparing year-long findings with and without adjunctive artificial intelligence (AI) at a breast cancer screening program in Spain, researchers found the combination of digital breast tomosynthesis and AI had a 92.5 percent accuracy for diagnosing cancer in patients with elevated risk.

The new launches include the 80/160-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner Aquilion Serve, which allows simultaneous previews of axial, lateral and AP views, and Celex, a multipurpose X-ray system that offers automated and customizable features to help maximize workflow efficiencies.

Lunit’s INSIGHT CXR software will be available on Philips’ X-ray solutions.

Medical devices are showing up regularly in abdominal X-rays – knowing what to look for and when something might be wrong can help improve diagnosis.

With both your adult and pediatric patients, be sure you are doing the best job at explaining both the benefits and risks of imaging studies.
