A proposed alternative to a previously validated deep learning neural network for assessing short-term breast cancer risk, the emerging AsymMirai deep learning mammography-based model showed comparable breast cancer risk prediction with an emphasis on bilateral dissimilarity, according to new research.

Three-dimensional interactive heart models created with AI-enabled segmentation of CT scans may reduce ventricular tachycardia ablation procedure times by 60 percent.

In a comparison of image-to-text large language models (LLMs), ChatGPT 4.0 offered a 95 percent sensitivity rate and an 83 percent AUC that were comparable to that of two senior radiologists and one junior radiologist interacting with LLM to differentiate between malignant and benign thyroid nodules on ultrasound.

The newly launched Progressive Loading feature, available through RamSoft’s OmegaAI software, reportedly offers radiologist rapid uploading of images that is faster than on-site networks and other cloud-based systems regardless of the network radiologists are using.

While adjunctive use of AI led to significantly higher specificity and accuracy rates in detecting cancer on breast ultrasound exams in comparison to unassisted reading by breast radiologists, researchers noted that 12 of 13 BI-RADS 3 lesions upgraded by AI were ultimately benign, according to research presented at the European Congress of Radiology.

In comparison to standard-dose lung CT, the combination of deep learning image reconstruction with ultra-low-dose CT offered similar detection and characterization of pulmonary nodules at a nearly 93 percent reduction of radiation dosing, according to new research.
