AI shows promise in detecting interval breast cancers

AuntMinnie

AI can detect interval breast cancers that may often be overlooked, according to research published on March 28 in Clinical Radiology. For their study, Prof. Levent Çelik, MD, from Maltepe University Hospital and Erkin Aribal, MD, from Acibadem University, both in Istanbul, Turkey, found that when AI was implemented into breast cancer screening in a middle-income country, it achieved high sensitivity and specificity in detecting interval cancers that were initially labeled as BI-RADS 1 or 2.

Enhancing Network Security with Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)

MRI Network

When you need to send a message to someone, you want it to go directly to them. You’d usually rather avoid it passing through a dozen people’s hands before the recipient ever sees it. It’s the same when you send data across a network. Standard internet protocol (IP) tends to bounce data packets across multiple destinations prior to information reaching its destination.

Chloe Cross, MD, of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. In interventional radiology (IR), most of us quickly become accustomed to needing to explain what we do -- to other clinicians, patients, their families, and even our own families. But how do patients get their own information about IR, if at all? When a patient receives a diagnosis, they may have multiple medical specialists offering various treatment recommendations, so they may be unsure which to follow.
