If a clinician you care about counts on AI to help make medical decisions, remind them: Tort law principles hold that doing so means risking liability should a patient sue over harm done.

Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models can evaluate cardiovascular risk in routine chest CT scans without contrast, according to new research published in Nature Communications.[1] In fact, the authors noted, the AI approach may be more effective at identifying issues than relying on guidance from radiologists. Representative non-contrast CT slices for two patients (left), with super-imposed segmentations (right). One artificial intelligence (AI) model was used to segment a cardiac mask.

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

AI’s potential impact on healthcare is largely measured in patient outcomes, cost savings and workflow improvements, but the technology could also be used to rid the world of some of its most shocking behavior: the devastating practice of modern slavery.

The United States is still viewed as the world’s leader in researching and developing AI solutions—but could that reputation be at stake?

Oxipit, a Lithuania-based medical imaging solutions manufacturer, and Healthcare Konnect, a Swiss distribution company, have announced a new partnership focused on delivering AI imaging solutions to Nigeria.

What should radiology be expending, in manpower as well as money, to help make medical imaging accessible to and from every clinical department? And what’s in enterprise imaging for radiology, anyway?

Deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) can reduce the radiation dose associated with low-dose chest and abdominal CT scans without sacrificing image quality, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

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.
