In a recent interview, Shadpour Demehri, MD, discussed new research examining connections between deep learning assessment of bone mineral density on chest CT, brain MRI data and the potential for enhanced risk stratification in patients with diabetes.
While better imaging may reduce the need for additional diagnostic tests, it may also eliminate the reimbursement that comes with those additional tests.
In a study involving over 700 participants who had chest CT and brain MRI, those with diabetes and lower vertebral bone mineral density (vBMD) had a nearly five percent faster total accumulation of white matter hyperintensity (WMH) in comparison to those without diabetes.
Newly cleared findings for the adjunctive AI platform a2z-Abdo-Triage include acute appendicitis, renal traumatic injury, ureteral stone and retroperitoneal hematoma.
