Global Market for Machine Learning to Surpass USD 2 Billion by 2023
The global market for machine learning in medical imaging is expected to record a robust growth and surpass USD 2 billion by 2023, driven by benefits such as enhanced productivity, increased diagnostic accuracy, more personalized treatment planning and improved clinical outcomes. However, the market is still in the innovator and early adopter phase, and will need to overcome several barriers before AI becomes mainstream in medical imaging. These are the latest findings of Signify Research, an independent supplier of market intelligence and consultancy to the global healthcare technology industry. More...10 Aug 2018
Machine-Learning Algorithm Analyzes Images to Identify Schizophrenia Patients
A team of researchers from the University of Alberta has developed a machine-learning algorithm to examine functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) images for identifying patients suffering from schizophrenia and ascertaining if they would respond to treatment. In a study, the algorithm examined MRI images of both newly diagnosed, previously untreated schizophrenia patients and healthy subjects and successfully identified patients with schizophrenia at 78% accuracy. It also predicted whether or not a patient would respond positively to a specific antipsychotic treatment named risperidone with 82% accuracy. More...31 Jul 2018
