AI functions in x-ray systems may save radiographers time

AuntMinnie

Intelligent virtual and AI-based collimation features appear to save radiographers time during x-ray image acquisitions – a key function for enabling more patient-focused workflows, according to a recent study. ATC and SVO enable the radiographer to save time during chest or stitched examinations.

AI model detects low BMD on ankle and foot x-rays

AuntMinnie

An AI model that detects low bone mineral density (BMD) on ankle and foot x-rays could be useful for screening for osteoporosis, according to radiologists at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. First, the team culled a dataset from 907 patients over 50 years old who had undergone both DEXA scans and x-rays within 12 months.

Can AI help rule out ‘unremarkable’ chest x-rays?

AuntMinnie

A commercially available AI algorithm shows potential for off-label use as a way to generate automatic reports for “unremarkable” chest x-rays, according to a study published August 20 in Radiology. These included chest radiographs that displayed abnormalities of no clinical significance, which are typically treated as normal.
