The FDA has granted de novo classification to an AI software module that puts a second pair of eyes on colonoscopy videos in real time and is compatible with any endoscope.

Many young imaging providers don't receive formal education to develop or enhance their communication skills, experts warned in a new special review.

The team sees significant potential in its findings, though they still hope to make the technique "simpler and more clinically implementable."

The European Medicines Agency is investigating the issue with help from the FDA. At this stage, the group emphasized that it remains unclear if the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is associated with any specific blood clot risk.

In radiology, it is vital for radiologists to connect with the entire patient care team in a seamless and timely manner. Imaging providers have done this over the years through such tools as land lines, pagers, fax machines and integrating with the electronic medical record (EMR). Some radiology practices even have their own secure client portal for this very purpose.

Officials with the Redmond, Washington-based tech giant said healthcare artificial intelligence was a key piece of the blockbuster acquisition. 

Imaging providers are continuously filling holes in their radiologist coverage schedule. Maybe the only neuroradiologist is out sick, for example, or two-thirds of the staff all want to attend the same conference.

vRad is the world’s largest teleradiology provider, with more than 500 general and subspecialty-trained teleradiologists who read up to 20,000 exams every day. One of the primary drivers behind the company’s success is its continued investment in AI technology. What can this state-of-the-art technology do for radiologists? How can it improve patient care? These are just some of the questions vRad’s team considers on a daily basis.

The aggregated datasets are so complex, applying algorithmic analysis for medical uses may help expand AI as it unlocks biology.

The new findings will go a long way toward defining individual abnormalities and customizing patient treatments.
