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

AuntMinnie

There are no costs related to opportunistic screening, because patients received these radiographs of the foot and ankle for some other purpose, wrote co-authors Farid Gharehmohammadi, MD, and Ronnie Sebro, MD. The study was published February 4 in the European Journal of Radiology. DEED, Attribution 4.0

The challenges of dysrhythmic radiologists

AuntMinnie

They were notorious in that they were inferior performers in an otherwise sound radiology department. Both were quite erratic in their radiology reports and became well-known for this. It could be a lengthy work of fantasy only vaguely related to the images or a concise and accurate verbal synopsis of the radiological findings.

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. The full study is available here.

Generative AI model validated in chest x-ray study

AuntMinnie

A group in South Korea has validated a generative AI model that could reduce reading times and increase chest x-ray reporting accuracy, according to a study published March 11 in Radiology. Five radiologists interpreted the chest radiographs in two sessions: without AI-generated reports and with AI-generated reports as preliminary reports.

Moore’s Law for radiologists

AuntMinnie

Some of my radiological heroes would report a staggering 30,000 to 40,000 radiographs a year. I remember the crossing of this particular radiological Rubicon about 15 years ago here in the U.K. Some even [startled gasp] gave up reporting plain radiographs. I still don’t know how they did it. So what happened?

What's best practice for using AI for thoracic imaging?

AuntMinnie

The use of AI in thoracic imaging has begun to demonstrate "cumulative evidence of effectiveness," but more testing and research are needed to determine its feasibility for this application, according to a commentary published February 25 in Radiology. Next-generation AI technology shows promise, however. in an accompanying editorial.
