A team of researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital has developed an age-specific dose catalog for estimating radiation exposure to children from diagnostic and interventional radiology fluoroscopy procedures. They analyzed metrics to estimate age-specific effective dose per IR procedure type and diagnostic fluoroscopy exam.

Up to 44% of diagnostic errors are due to laboratory tests and radiology exams that were inappropriately ordered, according to research published January 2 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. Reducing the order error rate may minimize diagnostic errors and potentially minimize harm to patients," the group noted.

Methods for training artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostic algorithms can help prevent these models from producing medical errors caused by adversarial attacks, according to research presented at RSNA 2023 in Chicago. This suggests that ARFL enhances the learning of discriminative features for diagnostic purposes, Hao added.
