tim.hodson Tue, 01/21/2025 - 13:17 Jan. 21, 2025 The NeurEYE research team, led by the University of Edinburgh, with Glasgow Caledonian University, has collected almost 1 million eye scans from opticians across Scotland, forming the worlds largest data set of its kind. The scientists will then use artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze the image data, linked to relevant patient data on demographics, treatment history and pre-existing conditions.
Imaging AI tools and algorithms continue to be rapidly developed and deployed into clinics, but experts say theres an elephant in the room that still needs to be addressed: reimbursement. Specifically, AI supporters are focusing on the lack of current procedural terminology (CPT) codes representing imaging services performed with AI. CPT codes are needed for appropriate insurance reimbursement.
People often ask me what I think will/does happen when private equity groups fail. The answer I’ve always said is it probably depends. The work needs to get done, so there are three big options: Direct hospital/system employment probably with locums in the short term New private practice Outsourced to teleradiology firm (potentially with IR/DR split and locus/direct employment for on-site procedural work) There was a story this past summer in Radiology Business that I don’t think I s
Amidst rising cancer prevalence and soaring costs, new cancer technologies and innovations are emerging to support the early detection, treatment, and surveillance of cancer. Read this guide to understand how to evaluate these solutions for your employees and members – and to learn more about the current state of coverage, clinical and cost effectiveness, and impact on quality and outcomes.
The specialty came in at #77 on the list, which is based on factors such as growth potential, work-life balance, job safety, employment rate and salary.
In the face of overall breast cancer rate increases, women of varying race and ethnicity experience disproportionately higher increases -- and higher rates of molecular subtypes, according to a study published January 24 in JAMA Network Open. A group led by Noelani Li from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, WA, found that women of the following races and/or ethnicities face incommensurate cancer rates compared to white women: Hispanic, non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native, an

I signed up for my Threads and Bluesky accounts in addition to OG Twitter/X or even LinkedIn a while back but never started really using them (@benwhitemd across the board). I’ve now set those up so that I can more easily share tweets of new blog posts across all platforms to account for reader preference (and I even added the cute little logos to the sidebar).
The New York-based artificial intelligence firm did not disclose financial terms of the AWS arrangement but noted that the deal is significant and spans several years.
The 2024 version of the LI-RADS Ultrasound Surveillance system improves detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) over earlier iterations, a study published January 22 in the American Journal of Roentgenology found. Researchers led by Sang Hyun Choi, MD, PhD, from the University of Ulsan in Seoul, South Korea found that LI-RADS version 2024 (v2024) leads to higher sensitivity but lower specificity for HCC detection compared to LI-RADS version 2017 (v2017).
Patient-centric scheduling can only be achieved through optimized radiology workflows, effective communications between staff and physicians, and, of course, through specialized schedulers. In this guide, we’ll take you through a step-by-step process to transform your radiology center into a high-performance hub of medical imaging.
tim.hodson Thu, 01/23/2025 - 16:21 Jan. 23, 2025 Lunit, a provider of AI-powered solutions for cancer diagnostics and therapeutics, has published a new study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology Precision Oncology. Conducted in collaboration with Japans National Cancer Center Hospital East (NCCHE), the study reveals how LunitsAI-powered pathology solutions, Lunit SCOPE HER2 and Lunit SCOPE IO, significantly improve HER2 biomarker evaluation and the prediction of clinical outcomes in metastatic c
Incidence rates among women 50 to 64 have now surpassed those of men, while cancer rates for females under 50 are 82% higher than their male counterparts, the ACS reports.
Using a deep-learning model with lung CT imaging shows promise for identifying and segmenting tumors, researchers have reported. The study results could have important implications for lung cancer treatment, according to lead author Mehr Kashyap, MD, of Stanford University School of Medicine. The findings were published January 21 in Radiology. "Our study represents an important step toward automating lung tumor identification and segmentation," Kashyap said in a statement released by the RSNA.
About 40% of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime, and patients are getting younger. At the same time, the cost of treatment continues to rise, with employers spending 8.5% more on cancer care for each employee than they did last year. The best thing employers can do for their employees and business tomorrow is to invest in cancer detection and care today.
Emergency departments (EDs) are the lifeblood of any health system, managing high-stress environments where every second counts. As health systems continue to face rising patient volumes, AI offers a promising solution to help streamline ED workflows, boost operational efficiency and ultimately improve patient outcomes. AI technologies , particularly those that help automate administrative and clinical tasks, can have a transformative impact on key metrics like patient throughput, length of stay
Brain MRI shows promise for surveilling women at risk for asymptomatic stage IV breast cancer metastases by tracking molecular subtypes of the disease, researchers have reported. "[We found that the] highest frequency of brain metastases at baseline was in triple-negative and HER2-positive [human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive] breast cancer," wrote a team led by Kamran Ahmed, MD, of Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL.
Discover how Color's comprehensive care solution is revolutionizing cancer screening adherence and knowledge. Through an in-depth case study, Color's unique approach to comprehensive cancer care has shown significant benefits in increasing screening rates and enhancing patient knowledge. Participants reported a 2-3x increase in adherence to screening guidelines over just 8 weeks, with 84% of participants increasing their familiarity with timing and frequency of cancer screening.
Introduction In the fast-paced world of healthcare, disruptions in critical services can have far-reaching consequences on patient care and hospital operations. On December 31st, Vesta Radiology showcased its unparalleled responsiveness and expertise when Comanche County Medical Center faced an imminent lapse in radiology coverage.
