Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a crucial component of healthcare to help augment physicians and make them more efficient. In medical imaging, it is helping radiologists more efficiently manage PACS worklists, enable structured reporting, auto detect injuries and diseases, and to pull in relevant prior exams and patient data. In cardiology, AI is helping automate tasks and measurements on imaging and in reporting systems, guides novice echo users to improve imaging and accuracy, and can risk stratify patients. AI includes deep learning algorithms, machine learning, computer-aided detection (CAD) systems, and convolutional neural networks.

Virtual dissection shortens CT colonoscopy learning curve

Although CT colonography has become a technically feasible screening tool for colorectal cancer, few radiologists have implemented the exam as a service line in their practice, perhaps because exam interpretation is time consuming, requiring analysis of 2D and 3D data sets. A training method for virtual dissection reading, along with concurrent use of computer-aided detection (CAD) technology, may shorten the learning period and significantly increase diagnostic values achieved by inexperienced interpreters.

Diffusion tensor imaging is alternative for measuring functional brain injury

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an effective a surrogate marker of brain tissue integrity, according to a study published in the September issue of Archives of Neurology.
