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.

PET brain scan

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

The recommendations differ between professional medical organizations and contrast manufacturers as well.

In a study, CT-FFR was shown to reduce the need for invasive tests to measure coronary artery blockage from 74.5% to 25.5%.

The American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association have collaborated on a new update to the much-discussed 2021 chest pain guidelines. The American College of Emergency Physicians and Society for Cardiac Angiography and Interventions also contributed to the document.

While the incidence of lung cancer did not significantly differ from start to finish, stage-specific incidence did.

Requests for urgent CT reads during the evening, overnight and on the weekends have increased more than 10-fold, causing a negative ripple effect throughout the radiology workforce, especially among trainees.

bone and soft tissue tumors

Authors of the new EJR paper explained that, although most of these tumors present in a similar way—with a lump or localized pain—their origins are wide-ranging and require the use of additional imaging to characterize the lesion.

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.
