Radiology-s-future-outside-the-box-literally

2018 02 Dec

The tight roped tug of war concerning artificial intelligence and exponential technologies like deep learning and machine learning has been pulling at radiology for years. There are those fearing the dark side- new technologies as the ‘big bad’ machines that will rise up and exterminate the radiologist, the shining happy radiologists that see unicorns...Read more

Rsna18-ai-may-help-reduce-mri-gadolinium-dose

2018 27 Nov

In a study presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago, researchers using artificial intelligence have developed a deep learning algorithm that may lead to the reduction of the gadolinium dose used in contrast material for MRI exams. “There is concrete evidence that gadolinium deposits in the brain...Read more

Neural-network-trained-to-interpret-chest-x-rays

2018 07 Nov

Researchers in the United States trained a convolutional neural network (CNN) – a deep learning technique – to detect signs of pneumonia in chest x-rays from three large U.S. hospital systems, individually and in combination. Overall, the researchers found that the CNN models showed a significant reduction in accuracy when tested on data from outside...Read more

Ai-and-radiology-collaboration-is-key

2018 08 May

Artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning have been met with great interest by the medical community. Particularly in the field of radiology, however, the arrival of AI has been met with responses ranging from cautious scepticism to outright fear and hostility, notes an Opinion article in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. "Such...Read more

Ai-to-enhance-not-replace-radiologists-jobs

2018 02 Apr

Rapid advances in artificial intelligence, including deep learning, are a major factor behind improvements in medical image analysis. Some deep learning models have shown their ability to identify pathologies in radiological images such as bone fractures and potentially cancerous lesions, in some cases more reliably than an average radiologist. With...Read more

2017 28 Nov

The role of deep learning (DL) and artificial intelligence (AI) within radiology continues to spark both fear and interest, yet the reality is that they are both potentially very useful technologies that will add value to the field in many ways.   During a session at the RSNA 2017 Congress in Chicago, USA, Dr. Paul Chang, MD, of the...Read more
