Personalised breast cancer screening relies on accurate near-term risk assessment to balance early detection with the harms of overdiagnosis. Interval cancers (ICs) that emerge between routine screens are linked to delayed diagnosis, larger tumours and poorer prognoses compared with screen-detected cancers. A mammography-based deep learning model,...Read more

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often detected late, when symptoms have already progressed and options to slow decline are more limited. Chest radiographs are common in everyday care yet are not used to diagnose COPD. A deep learning model called CXR-Lung-Risk, originally trained to estimate long-term lung-related mortality from...Read more

Most lung cancer diagnoses in the United Kingdom follow symptom onset or emergency presentation and many people hesitate to seek help or struggle to access investigations. Self-request chest X-ray services in Leeds and Greater Manchester were created to lower these barriers by allowing eligible adults to attend radiology departments without a...Read more

Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is the second most prevalent form of dementia, presenting significant challenges for diagnosis and management. VCI encompasses a continuum from subjective cognitive decline to full-blown dementia, primarily caused by cerebrovascular damage. With projections estimating 1.5 billion individuals over 65 by 2050,...Read more

Osteoporosis is a widespread condition that often remains undiagnosed until a fracture occurs. It significantly affects health, particularly in ageing populations, and contributes to increased morbidity, healthcare costs and reduced quality of life. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the clinical standard for diagnosing osteoporosis, but...Read more

Oesophageal cancer remains a major global health challenge due to its high mortality rate and typically late-stage diagnosis. The disease is often detected only when symptoms become apparent, by which time treatment options are limited and prognosis is poor. Early detection is critical for improving survival rates, yet conventional imaging techniques...Read more

Newly published clinical review shows how AI-driven technology can help physicians spot suspicious breast lesions and flag high-priority cases. Breast cancer has a high five-year survival rate — about 99% — when caught early. 1 While regular mammography screenings remain instrumental in detecting breast cancer when it’s the most treatable,...Read more

Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) is a complex and rare inborn error of immunity characterised by antibody deficiency and impaired B cell responses. Due to its heterogeneous presentation, CVID often eludes timely diagnosis, resulting in delayed treatment and prolonged patient suffering. However, a groundbreaking development from the University...Read more
