Radiologists routinely compare the current and previous chest radiographs during interpretation to enhance the sensitivity for change detection and provide information for differential diagnosis. Example of triage of no change in a pair of chest radiographs in the emergency department. (A) Image courtesy of Radiology.

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.

However, the severity of deformity and involved joints were difficult to determine on plain radiographs alone. As shown here, subluxation at the first and second TMT joints was better visualized on WBCT (bottom two scans) images than conventional radiographs (top scan). Epub 2018 Oct 8. PMID: 32851880.​ (2) Foot Ankle Int.
