#ESCCongress: AI Algorithm for Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease
2022 29 Aug
Late-breaking research presented at the ESC Congress shows that an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm accurately estimates the risk of heart disease caused by cumulative exposure to cholesterol and blood pressure levels and the benefits of lowering both, thus providing the information needed to make individual treatment decisions. Atherosclerotic... 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

Netflix-Style Algorithm for Blueprint of Cancer
2022 21 Jun
A team of scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to develop a Netflix-style algorithm to investigate and categorise DNA changes across the cancer genome. The paper, titled “Signatures of copy number alterations in human cancer”, is published in Nature. They identify 21 common faults that occur to the structure, order and number of... Read more
Are We Ready for AI-Ethical Decision Making?
2022 07 Jun
As technology continues to evolve, the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in decision-making processes continues to grow. Today, humans have become dependent on algorithms to process information, guide behaviour and draw conclusions. In a new study, researchers study how humans react to AI decision-making and explore the question: "is society... Read more
