AI Emerged as a Promising Tool to Advance Global Radiology
2023 24 May
Imaging plays a large and pivotal role in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Given the important role it plays, it is crucial countries have implemented coordinated screening programmes, particularly in low-resource environments. However, low-resource countries face serious financial limitations, lack of imaging equipment and shortages of workers... Read more
AI in Medical Imaging May Exaggerate Health Inequities
2023 15 May
Researchers from the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) found that after analysing crowd-sourced sets of data used to create AI algorithms from medical images, most did not contain demographic data. In addition, they found the algorithms were not evaluated for inherent biases. This implies that researchers or clinicians who may... Read more
AI Impact on Radiologists
2023 01 Mar
Although AI can help support diagnosis, impact personalised treatment, enhance patient engagement and can be used to model care coordination, it remains imperative that healthcare professionals understand how a patient perceives technology and how AI may come to influence their care. Several doctors may experience overconfidence, meaning there... Read more
AI Impact in Lower-resource countries
2023 01 Mar
It is a wide world phenomenon that we have a shortage of radiologists but this problem is even more pronounced in developing countries. Unfortunately, several of these countries lack specialists in addition to lacking radiologists. AI can have a great impact in these locations where radiologists are not present, and help to manage the work load of... Read more
Testing Whether AI Can Replace Radiologists
2023 11 Jan
A recent study tested whether artificial intelligence could pass the rapid reporting element of the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists exam, which radiologists in the UK are required to pass before the completion of their training. The aim of the study was to test whether an AI candidate could pass the reporting exam and outperform... Read more
AI Can Detect Early Signs of Osteoarthritis from an X-ray Image
2022 22 Dec
A team of researchers from the university of Jyväskylä and the Central Finland Health Care District developed an AI based neural network, that can detect early knee osteoarthritis from x-ray images. This new method offers the potential to improve early detection, saving the patient from unnecessary examinations and treatments. Typically,... Read more

Dynamic Brain Imaging With AI
2022 02 Aug
MRI, electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography are commonly used to study brain activity. However, new research from Carnegie Mellon University introduces a novel, AI-based dynamic brain imaging technology that maps out rapidly changing electrical activity in the brain with high speed, high resolution, and low cost. The research aims to improve... Read more
AI vs Humans: Detecting Incidental Pulmonary Embolism on Chest CT
2022 19 Jul
A study was conducted to assess the diagnostic performance of an AI algorithm for detecting incidental pulmonary embolus (iPE) on conventional contrast-enhanced chest CT examinations. Results show that the AI tool had a high negative predictive value (NPV) and moderate positive predictive value (PPV) for detection and was able to find some iPEs that... Read more
