AI Algorithm Enables Radiologists to See Past Bones and Vessels in Chest X-Rays
Traditional X-rays can make it difficult to identify lung abnormalities due to the presence of the body's 12 sets of ribs and clavicles that obstruct the view of radiologists who are often limited by their visual observations. A unique suppression technology removes these obstructions from the image, thereby enabling radiologists to more effectively detect actionable nodules on frontal chest X-rays. More...24 Mar 2023

AI As Good As Expert Radiologists in Diagnosing Hip Fractures from X-Rays
New study findings suggest that AI has the potential to automate hip fracture diagnosis, although overly complex and uninterpretable AI models may not yield any significant benefits when it comes to predicting patient-specific outcomes compared to the traditional, interpretable models.

Non-Invasive MR Elastography Could Provide Alternative to Liver Biopsy in Obese Patients
Three-dimensional MR elastography (MRE) scans have the potential to simultaneously assess liver fibrosis and inflammation. However, existing 3D MRE methods present several challenges, such as multiple sequences, each requiring the patient to hold their breath, which can reduce the precision of the liver’s geometric alignment and hinder clinical acceptance. This issue is exacerbated in obese patients, as their high body mass index (BMI) can interfere with the penetration of mechanical waves. To address these challenges, researchers have investigated a new approach that involves a single breath-hold, which obese patients can more easily tolerate and reproduce. More...17 Mar 2023
