Deep Learning with Whole-body MRI Recognises Diabetes
2021 30 Oct
Obesity is associated with diabetes, but there are metabolically healthy individuals with excess body fat and others with normal body weight who develop insulin resistance. The key risk factor is fat distribution. Individuals who accumulate deep abdominal and visceral fat are more likely to develop insulin resistance than individuals with subcutaneous... Read more
Deep Learning Reduces Need for Gadolinium Contrast
2021 26 Oct
Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs), used during MRI scans, enhance brain tissue contrast. GBCAs are crucial for brain tumour care because they highlight areas with abnormal blood-brain barrier permeability that tumours cause. This permits monitoring of treatment response and also guide surgical tumour removal. Disadvantages to using GBCAs include... Read more
Automated Triaging of MRIs Rules Out Cancer in Dense Breasts
2021 08 Oct
Mammography provides early detection when breast cancer treatments are more successful. Unfortunately, mammography is less sensitive in women with dense than with fatty breast tissue. This is unfortunate because the breast cancer risk is three- to six times higher in dense rather than fatty breast tissue and two times higher than that of the average... Read more
