A novel convolutional neural network (CNN) approach could be used to help radiologists improve their classification of osteoarthritis (OA) on knee radiographs, reported authors of a new study published in the Journal of Digital Imaging.

Breast ultrasound should be used as the primary initial imaging modality when evaluating focal breast symptoms in women 30 to 39 years old, according to research published Oct. 9 in the American Journal of Roentgenology. Although mammography can detect symptomatic breast cancer, the researchers found its cancer detection rate (CDR) to be lower than that of ultrasound.

Utilizing non-displaceable binding potential (BPND) quantification with 18F-Flutemetamol PET imaging can better assess amyloid pathology in elderly patients with low amyloid buildup compared to traditional standard uptake value ratio (SUVr), reported authors of an Oct. 12 study in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

A new pregnancy trend is having expectant mothers turn their nails into a canvas featuring images of their unborn baby’s sonograms. The results are taking social media by storm, according to a recent report by People.com.

A polio-like condition called acute flaccid mylelitis (AFM) that causes partial paralysis is showing up in children across the U.S. and can only be detected with MRI and spinal fluid tests, according to a report published Oct. 8 by NBC News.

Prominent medical societies have issued new clinical guidelines, Thursday, Oct. 11, recommending physicians use external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to treat men with early-stage prostate cancer.

Novel research led by Stephen Smith, PhD, from the Wellcome Center for Integrative Neuroimaging at the University of Oxford in the U.K.—whose team compared genetic data to 10,000 brain MRI scans from the U.K. Biobank project—gives insight into the genetic makeup of the human brain relevant to neurological and psychiatric disorders.

The 2.3 percent medical device tax violates sound tax principles and negatively affects various segments of the healthcare industry, according to a new report released Thursday, Oct. 11, by the San Francisco, California-based Pacific Research Institute.

Deep learning may accurately identify false-positive mammograms and distinguish such from images identified as malignant or negative, according to new research published Oct. 11 in the journal Clinical Cancer Research.

King’s College London announced a partnership with technology giant NVIDIA to use its artificial intelligence solutions to improve radiology and pathological care for patients in the U.K.’s National Healthcare System (NHS), according to a NVIDIA report.
