Can AI Improve Triage Efficiency in Radiology Workflows for Follow-Up X-Rays?
October 24th 2023An emerging deep learning algorithm can reportedly triage 40 percent of no-change X-rays while providing 88 to 90 percent accuracy for detecting changes with X-rays obtained in the emergency department and intensive care unit at a tertiary referral hospital, according to recently published research.
Can ChatGPT be an Effective Patient Communication Tool in Radiology?
October 20th 2023While ChatGPT has the potential to help streamline responses to imaging-related questions from patients, the authors of a new study found that a third of ChatGPT responses to unprompted questions on medical imaging were not “fully relevant.”
Can Deep Learning Bolster CT Detection and Classification of Usual Interstitial Pneumonia?
October 18th 2023In a multicenter cohort of patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), a deep learning classification tool demonstrated an 81 percent sensitivity rate and a 77 percent specificity rate for predicting usual interstitial pneumonia on computed tomography (CT) scans.
Mammography News: FDA Clears AI Software for Breast Arterial Calcification Detection
October 17th 2023Utilized in conjunction with screening digital mammography or digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered software cmAngio may help detect and localize breast arterial calcification (BAC), an incidental finding that has been linked to an elevated risk for heart disease and stroke.
FDA Clears AI-Enabled Denoising Feature for DWI Sequences on Portable Brain MRI System
October 9th 2023In reportedly the eighth FDA 510(k) clearance for Hyperfine’s Swoop portable brain MRI device, clinicians will now have access to enhanced denoising capabilities with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences.
GE HealthCare Adds Real-Time AI Guidance to Venue Family Ultrasound Systems
October 6th 2023Geared to clinicians who may lack ultrasound expertise, the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Caption Guidance technology reportedly provides stepwise instruction for acquiring optimal cardiac ultrasound images.
Study Shows Mixed Results with AI Software for PE Detection on CTPA Scans
October 5th 2023While the artificial intelligence (AI) triage system significantly reduced wait times for computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) results that were positive for pulmonary embolism (PE), researchers found no significant differences in the use of adjunctive AI with respect to accuracy rates and specificity rates.
Transformer-Based Multimodal AI Model Improves Diagnosis of Over 20 Conditions with Chest X-Rays
October 3rd 2023Integrating clinical data parameters along with chest X-ray findings, the multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) model outperformed the use of clinical parameters only and chest X-rays only for various conditions ranging from congestive heart failure and chronic kidney disease to hypertension and pneumonia.
CAD Versus AI: Let Me Know When the Alphabet Soup Matters in Radiology
October 2nd 2023Is the continued rise of artificial intelligence (AI) driven by legitimate “machine learning,” or do the frequently “suspicious” chest X-rays and questionable detection of subtle findings on head CTs reveal a hype-driven train of new products with an ultimately “planned obsolescence”?
Study Raises Doubt About AI Sensitivity for Smaller and Multiple Findings on Chest X-Rays
September 29th 2023In a multicenter study examining four commercially available artificial intelligence (AI) software products for chest X-rays in over 2,000 patients, researchers found sensitivity rates ranging between 33 to 61 percent for vague airspace disease and 9 to 94 percent for small pneumothorax and pleural effusion.
New Multicenter Study Shows Viability of AI Tool for Detecting Central PE on CT
September 22nd 2023The Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Triage and Notification (PETN) module with RapidAI’s RapidPE platform reportedly demonstrated over 90 percent sensitivity and specificity rates for detection of central PE on computed tomography (CT), according to multicenter study findings presented at the 9th Annual Pulmonary Embolism Symposium.
Mammography-Based Deep Learning Model Facilitates Higher Breast Cancer Detection on Screening MRI
September 22nd 2023New research suggests the capability of a mammography-based deep learning model to identify women at high risk of breast cancer led to more than triple the cancer detection rate on breast MRI in comparison to traditional risk assessment tools.
