PSMA PET Aids Decision Making in Prostate Cancer Treatment
A recent study utilizing detailed PSMA PET mapping of cancer recurrence in the prostate bed has revealed that the current radiotherapy contouring guidelines miss a significant number of lesions and may result in unnecessary irradiation of healthy tissues. More...28 Mar 2023

Imaging AI Can Alleviate Emergency Radiographic Workflow Constraints
Over the past few decades, emergency departments (EDs) worldwide have experienced increased workflow pressure and a corresponding rise in the demand for medical imaging around the clock, 7 days a week. Artificial intelligence (AI), specifically the application of deep learning in radiological imaging, has emerged as a potential solution to improve the ED workflow. More...27 Mar 2023

Machine Learning Aids Diagnosis and Prognosis of Prostate Cancer Using MRI
A team of translational researchers is leading the way in improving generative adversarial networks (GAN) tools for integration with diagnostic and prognostic tools in prostate cancer research. By requiring less data and patient follow-ups, GAN has the potential to revolutionize machine learning models and reduce healthcare costs and patient discomfort associated with repeat follow-ups.

AI Algorithm Enables Radiologists to See Past Bones and Vessels in Chest X-Rays
Traditional X-rays can make it difficult to identify lung abnormalities due to the presence of the body's 12 sets of ribs and clavicles that obstruct the view of radiologists who are often limited by their visual observations. A unique suppression technology removes these obstructions from the image, thereby enabling radiologists to more effectively detect actionable nodules on frontal chest X-rays. More...24 Mar 2023

AI Algorithm Flags and Triages Suspected Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms from CTA Images
A novel artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm flags and triages suspected cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), facilitating healthcare providers in swiftly identifying and detecting individuals with AAA, while also automatically directing those at imminent risk of rupture for further evaluation and care. More...23 Mar 2023

Cutting-Edge Stroke AI Imaging Platform Provides Real-Time Interpretation of Brain Scans
A cutting-edge stroke artificial intelligence (AI) imaging platform supports doctors by providing real-time interpretation of brain scans. This can help in making treatment and transfer decisions for stroke patients, ensuring they receive treatment at the right time and in the appropriate location. More...22 Mar 2023

AI As Good As Expert Radiologists in Diagnosing Hip Fractures from X-Rays
New study findings suggest that AI has the potential to automate hip fracture diagnosis, although overly complex and uninterpretable AI models may not yield any significant benefits when it comes to predicting patient-specific outcomes compared to the traditional, interpretable models. More...21 Mar 2023
