Although the predictive power of radiomics has been touted as a tool that could improve patient outcomes, the method has a long way to go before it can be reliably introduced into real-world clinical environments.

The program leverages the in-context learning abilities of large language models to generate report summaries using domain-specific, individualized data relative to radiology.

Researchers think their new AI model could be especially helpful in areas where qualified physicians and/or ultrasound technology are in short supply.

A Journal of the American College of Radiology study details how one radiology department  implemented NLP software to resolve inadvertent discordance between physicians and an AI decision support system.

American Society of Echocardiography President Stephen Little, MD, says several trends and technologies are coming together at once, leading to renewed interest in echo.

Roberto Lang, MD, has been closely involved with the development of AI technology that helps inexperienced ultrasound users perform high-quality echo exams. "It is an unbelievable thing when you see it working," he said. 

And the improved scan times did not come at the expense of image quality but, instead, offered improved signal-to-noise ratio, according to a new study in Skeletal Radiology.

James Kirkpatrick, MD, discussed some of the biggest trends and themes he saw at the American Society of Echocardiography's 2023 annual meeting.
