AI Program Could Aid Decision-Making in Medical Imaging
Researchers are developing a first of its kind neural network that explains itself and could help with decision-making in the medical field, among others. Raytheon BBN Technologies is developing the neural network under the Defense Research Project Agency's (DARPA) Explainable Artificial Intelligence program (XAI). The aim of the XAI program is to create a suite of machine learning techniques, which produce more explainable models while maintaining a high level of performance. It also aims to help human users understand, appropriately trust and effectively manage the emerging generation of artificially intelligent partners. More...24 Sep 2018

Tetris-Like Program Could Speed Up Breast Cancer Detection
A fully automated medical image analysis program to detect breast tumors that uses a unique style to focus on the affected area is being developed by researchers from the University of Adelaide’s Australian Institute for Machine Learning. Using artificial intelligence (AI), the autonomous program in conjunction with an MRI scan employs the traversal movement and style of a retro video game to examine the breast area.

Researchers Develop AI Algorithm to Predict Immunotherapy Response
A team of French researchers have designed an algorithm and developed it to analyze Computed Tomography (CT) scan images, establishing for the first time that artificial intelligence (AI) can process medical images to extract biological and clinical information. The researchers have created a so-called radiomic signature, which defines the level of lymphocyte infiltration of a tumor and provides a predictive score for the efficacy of immunotherapy in the patient.

Fujifilm and IU School of Medicine to Study AI in Diagnostic Imaging
Fujifilm Corporation has entered into a joint research agreement with Indiana University School of Medicine to develop the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging diagnostic support systems. More...12 Sep 2018


AI System Accurately Detects Lung Cancer in CT Scans
Engineers from the University of Central Florida's Computer Vision Research Center have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system which can detect tiny specks of lung cancer in CT scans. Radiologists find it difficult to identify such tiny tumors and have an accuracy of 65%, while the AI system has an accuracy of about 95%, according to the engineers. More...05 Sep 2018

American College of Radiology Releases Initial Use Cases in AI Library
The American College of Radiology Data Science Institute has started releasing its first artificial intelligence (AI) use cases in the ACR DSI TOUCH-AI library for generating feedback ahead of the projected release of all of the use cases in the fall. More...03 Sep 2018
