After less than two years of data collection and processing, the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) has successfully delivered over 30,000 de-identified imaging exams to the Medical Imaging and Data Resource Center (MIDRC), an open-access platform which publishes data to be used for research.
AI can help humans inspect chest X-rays for COVID-19, but the technology is unfit to serve as a standalone diagnostic tool for that purpose, according to a prospective observational study conducted at the University of Minnesota and published online June 1 in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence.
Elizabeth Bergey, MD, a diagnostic radiologist at Quantum, chairman of Quantum’s Board of Directors, discusses some of the questions radiology practices should be asking when evaluating orchestration software.
Researchers have developed an enhanced version of optical coherence tomography (OCT) that can image biomedical samples at higher contrast and resolution over a wider 3D field of view than was previously possible. The new 3D microscope could be useful for biomedical research and eventually enable more accurate medical diagnostic imaging.
A new method that combines imaging information with artificial intelligence (AI) can diagnose osteoporosis from hip X-rays, according to a study in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence. Researchers said the approach could help speed treatment to patients before fractures occur.
Approximately 59% of fully vaccinated patients had no evidence of COVID-19 pneumonia on CT, compared to 22% of unvaccinated patients.
As hospitals and private health offices nationwide slowly begin to emerge from the COVID-induced challenges posed over the last two years, there is a new understanding of, and necessity for, adaptable medical technology and practices.
At the Radiological Society of North America’s (RSNA) 2021 annual meeting in December, James Brink, MD, FACR, Radiologist-in-Chief at Massachusetts General Hospital, in Boston, Mass., and a Juan M. Taveras Professor of Radiology with Harvard Medical School, led a Plenary Session titled “Radiology in the Value-based Healthcare Arena: Player or Pawn?” There is no doubt that the concept of value is an ever-present thought in the mind of Brink.
Researchers revealed that less than 1% of more than 46,000 patients took advantage of online self-scheduling tools to schedule a mammogram. A number of sociodemographic factors influence whether patients are more likely to utilize online portals to self-schedule screening mammograms.
A new study found that while the absolute number of imaging studies performed in 2016 was twice the number of studies performed in 2004, the increase is attributable to a doubling in the number of active patients.
