Scientists Use Machine Learning and MRI Scans to Predict Learning Difficulties

A team of scientists from the Medical Research Council (MRC) Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit at the University of Cambridge used machine learning - a type of artificial intelligence - with data from hundreds of children who struggle at school to identify clusters of learning difficulties, which did not match their previous diagnosis. According to the researchers, this reinforces the need for children to receive detailed assessments of their cognitive skills to identify the best type of support. More...

Utilization of X-Ray Mammography Systems Expected to Increase

Over the last 20 years, hospitals and imaging centers in the developed economies have adopted X-ray mammography systems for the screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. This has resulted in a significant reduction in mortality and encouraged emerging countries to make investments in population-base, organized screening. These significant investments in mammography technology have paved the way for radiation safety, patient comfort and 3D imaging that enables precise tumor detection. More...
