Does the Camera Really Add Ten Pounds?

Do we get mired in the rut of generational grumbling, or do we reframe resentments into perspective of what we have overcome?

KA Imaging President and Chief Executive Officer Amol Karnick and Chief Technology Officer Karim S. Karim, Ph.D., offer insights into current X-ray imaging trends, as well as opportunities for innovation.

For clinically actionable pneumothorax, an artificial intelligence algorithm demonstrated a 93 percent AUC and a 96 percent specificity rate in a study involving chest X-rays from over 27,000 adults.

The use of a portable dual-energy X-ray detector in the ICU at one community hospital reportedly facilitated a 37.5 percent decrease in chest CT exams in comparison to the previous three months, according to research presented at the American Society of Emergency Radiology (ASER) meeting in Washington, D.C.

The AI-enabled software Rayvolve reportedly demonstrated a 96 percent sensitivity rate for diagnosing pediatric fractures in a recent study involving 3,000 patients.

New research suggests the use of an AI software may help rule out pathology on over 50 percent of unremarkable chest X-rays with a 98 percent sensitivity threshold.
