Deep-Learning Chest Radiograph Model Predicts Mortality for Community-Acquired Pneumonia

Imaging Technology

In this AJR accepted manuscript , a DL model was developed in 7,105 patients via one institution from March 2013 to December 2019 (3:1:1 allocation to training, validation, and internal test sets) to predict risk of all-cause mortality within 30 days after CAP diagnosis using patients’ initial chest radiograph. CURB-65 score).

Deep learning combines breast imaging data to predict cancer prognosis

AuntMinnie

The researchers included data from 1,242 patients recruited between 2013 and 2018 and divided them into training (n = 1,014) and testing groups (n = 228). They collected imaging data to establish deep-learning models using ResNet50. They used area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) to measure the predictive performance of the models.

Surgeons Weigh In: Top Indications for WBCT: Part 3

CurveBeam AI

Whenever bilateral standing radiographs would have been needed, a WBCT was performed instead. The reality is that if insurance was not an issue, I would not perform conventional radiographic imaging anymore. WBCT imaging allows superior and more complete 3-dimensional assessment of the foot and ankle, with low radiation dose.
