Healthcare leaders face the dual challenge of improving outcomes while managing rising costs. Large proportions of spending are tied to chronic and mental health conditions that are predictable and avoidable, yet delivery remains episodic and reactive. Fragmented data, late risk identification and misdirected incentives compound the pressures...Read more

Biomarkers are essential tools in the emergency department for improving early detection, risk stratification, and patient management. This article reviews challenges in biomarker integration, the diagnostic and prognostic value of pancreatic stone protein (PSP), and the role of point-of-care solutions such as the abioSCOPE® in advancing personalised...Read more

Healthcare systems spend heavily on chronic disease once symptoms emerge, yet many conditions are preventable or better managed with earlier intervention. Artificial intelligence is shifting the balance by supporting earlier diagnoses, generating actionable insights and improving how resources are allocated. At the HIMSS25 Global Conference, healthcare...Read more

Microvascular invasion is a key histopathological feature linked to recurrence and poor survival in hepatocellular carcinoma, yet it is confirmed only after surgery, limiting its value for preoperative decision-making. A retrospective multicentre analysis of 655 surgically confirmed cases explored whether three-dimensional fractal dimension derived...Read more

Advancements in artificial intelligence have enabled the extraction of valuable diagnostic information from imaging modalities traditionally used for a single purpose. In the context of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), computed tomography attenuation correction (CTAC) scans are primarily used for attenuation correction, but they also contain...Read more

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies among men, and early detection is crucial for optimising treatment outcomes. However, a major challenge in prostate cancer diagnosis lies in distinguishing clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) from indolent cases that may not require immediate intervention. Traditional diagnostic...Read more

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical imaging has demonstrated significant potential in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. A recent study focused on the use of AI-derived tumour volume from multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) in evaluating prognostic outcomes for patients with localised prostate cancer treated...Read more

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of death across the globe, presenting a continual challenge to healthcare systems. As diagnostic technology progresses, there is an increasing opportunity to enhance the precision and effectiveness of tools used to detect and monitor heart conditions. One such advancement is the updated REFINE...Read more

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited heart disorder characterised by the progressive loss of cardiomyocytes and replacement with fibrofatty tissue, leading to structural remodelling and ventricular dysfunction. This condition predominantly affects the right ventricle but may also present as a biventricular or...Read more

The incidence of thyroid cancer has been on the rise, making the need for accurate and non-invasive diagnostic tools more critical than ever. Thyroid nodules are quite prevalent, with a majority being benign. Only a small percentage demonstrate malignant potential. Although fine-needle aspiration (FNA) remains a reliable diagnostic method, unnecessary...Read more
