Road to RSNA 2024: Digital X-Ray Preview

AuntMinnie

This year’s trip along the Road to RSNA for digital x-ray features a few familiar mileposts – AI for chest x-ray studies, for instance – but notably also significant research into how technology and new techniques can reduce radiation exposure in patients. Is adjacent x-ray imaging in the ER justified?

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.

Road to RSNA 2023: Digital X-Ray

AuntMinnie

This year’s trip along the Road to RSNA for digital x-ray features mileposts mostly set by AI research. Models will be proposed for applications ranging from predicting bone density on chest x-rays to generating complete reports on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. Nonetheless, AI is poised to take top headlines.
