Deep learning-accelerated brain MRI improves the detection of acute ischemic lesions compared to conventional MRI because it offers better image quality and significantly decreased exam times, researchers have reported in a study published in Radiology. Note the equal image quality. Arrows indicate the acute infarction.

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.
