alzheimer's disease dementia brain imaging

An AI-aided way has emerged to confidently select dementia patients who are likely to benefit from amyloid-PET imaging while appropriately de-selecting patients for whom the costly exam would probably be unhelpful.

Up to 30% of patients have metastatic disease by the time they are initially diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma, making accurate staging a critical element of treatment planning. 

With the shortage, which pertains specifically to all formulations and concentrations of GE Healthcare’s Omnipaque (iohexol), expected to last until mid-June, several organizations have eluded that conservation efforts are of critical importance.#contrastshortage #CTcontrast #iodinatedcontrast

The man's wife told the court that he had undergone similar scans multiple times before and had never experienced any sort of adverse reaction.

And the dose reduction can be achieved without sacrificing image quality, a new analysis shows.

Automated AI-generated measurements combined with annotated CT images can improve treatment planning and help referring physicians and patients better understand their disease, explained Sarah Jane Rinehart, MD, director of cardiac imaging with Charleston Area Medical Center.

Two advanced algorithms—one for CAC scores and another for segmenting cardiac chamber volumes—outperformed radiologists when assessing low-dose chest CT scans. 

"Gen AI can help tackle repetitive tasks and provide insights into massive datasets, saving valuable time," Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, said Tuesday.
