iPads Reliable Tool to Assess MR Images
Physicians can rely on iPads to provide MR images that are on par with DICOM calibrated secondary-class monitors, researchers say.
Physicians can rely on iPads to provide MR images that are on par with DICOM calibrated secondary-class monitors, said researchers in a study published in the August issue of the journal Academic Radiology.
To assess iPad image quality, the researchers looked at 13 MRI cases that contained one of four possible presentations of either spinal cord compression, cauda equine syndrome, spinal cord hemorrhage, or spinal cord edema, as well as 18 control cases. The images were assessed by 13 board-certified radiologists and viewed on both an iPad and an LCD device.
The researchers found no statistical differences between the findings noted on either device. This finding backed up earlier findings of a University of Maryland study that found diagnosis of tuberculosis could be made effectively using the iPad 2 to review chest X-ray images.
Emerging AI Algorithm Shows Promise for Abbreviated Breast MRI in Multicenter Study
April 25th 2025An artificial intelligence algorithm for dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI offered a 93.9 percent AUC for breast cancer detection, and a 92.3 percent sensitivity in BI-RADS 3 cases, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
Could AI-Powered Abbreviated MRI Reinvent Detection for Structural Abnormalities of the Knee?
April 24th 2025Employing deep learning image reconstruction, parallel imaging and multi-slice acceleration in a sub-five-minute 3T knee MRI, researchers noted 100 percent sensitivity and 99 percent specificity for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears.
New bpMRI Study Suggests AI Offers Comparable Results to Radiologists for PCa Detection
April 15th 2025Demonstrating no significant difference with radiologist detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), a biparametric MRI-based AI model provided an 88.4 percent sensitivity rate in a recent study.
