Artificial intelligence has the potential to improve the analysis of medical image data. For example, algorithms based on deep learning can determine the location and size of tumors. This is the result of AutoPET, an international competition in medical image analysis. The seven best autoPET teams report on how algorithms can detect tumor lesions in positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT).

A number of years ago, in a small British hospital that must remain nameless, there were two notorious radiologists. They were notorious in that they were inferior performers in an otherwise sound radiology department. Not quite bad enough to be dangerous but definitely subpar. Both were quite erratic in their radiology reports and became well-known for this.

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-PET/CT bests conventional imaging when it comes to identifying high-risk, nonmetastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, researchers have reported. The findings suggest a better alternative to "conventional" imaging modalities such as CT alone, MRI, or bone scans for tracking prostate cancer in this particular patient population, wrote a team led by Adrien Holzgreve, MD, of the University of California, Los Angeles.
