Apparently, it isn’t just humans who occasionally struggle to work under stress. According to a recent study, the performance of AI flounders, too. 

microstructural differences present on diffusion tensor imaging of brains of individuals with ASD

New research could offer further insight into exactly what causes individuals on the spectrum to process information differently.

There have been a total of 11 incidents so far, including seven injuries and two deaths. Boston Scientific said the agent can still be used if operators follow specific instructions during lower GI bleed embolization procedures.  

chatgpt for patient questions about radiology

While the latest ChatGPT models show promise in easing the reporting burden on radiologists in the future, they aren't up to the task just yet.

Fast Track designations are typically granted to drugs that target an unmet medical need. 

Chest X-ray. Using an explainable artificial intelligence (AI) model, researchers were recently able to accomplish highly accurate labeling on large datasets of publicly available chest radiograph X-rays.. 

At one institution, the guidelines are not as effective as many had hoped, according to new post-implementation data.

Breast cancer screenings present an additional opportunity to identify more women who would also qualify for lung cancer screening, authors of a new paper in JAMA said.

A new Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute study found that between 2017 and 2019 the number of non-physician providers (NPPs, which includes nurse practitioners and physician assistants) employed by radiology only practices increased 18%. This increase was associated with more NPPs employed per practice, as well as an 11% increase in the number of practices employing them. 

A new paper in Radiology explores factors that can lead to reader variability in CT imaging, from the radiologist’s experience level and subspecialty to navigation patterns and time spent interpreting.

An independent heart team blinded to ICA results was able to deliver helpful guidance for CABG procedures for 99.1% of patients using just CCTA and FFRCT alone. This approach is safe and feasible, researchers wrote, and the next step is to gather additional data. 

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