Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a crucial component of healthcare to help augment physicians and make them more efficient. In medical imaging, it is helping radiologists more efficiently manage PACS worklists, enable structured reporting, auto detect injuries and diseases, and to pull in relevant prior exams and patient data. In cardiology, AI is helping automate tasks and measurements on imaging and in reporting systems, guides novice echo users to improve imaging and accuracy, and can risk stratify patients. AI includes deep learning algorithms, machine learning, computer-aided detection (CAD) systems, and convolutional neural networks.

AI adoption in clinical radiology: 4 ups, 4 downs

If healthcare AI is to improve care and efficiency in clinical practice across medicine, its proponents in radiology must implement it in a structured manner.

Exercise improves blood flow in key brain areas linked to memory, imaging reveals

In older adults at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease, one year of aerobic exercise enhanced flow in the anterior cingulate cortex and the hippocampus, according to a new study.

Why AI has fallen well short of outsmarting COVID-19

Understood as a virtual army in the war against COVID-19, AI has vast stockpiles of potential weaponry with which to wage many a battle. That’s the good news.

University receives $5.9M grant for neuroimaging, clinical research into mood disorders

“By examining cognitive dysfunction patterns within an individual, we can develop better risk assessment tools that will allow quick therapeutic interventions before relapses occur,” said co-investigator of the project Olusola Ajilore, MD, PhD, with the University of Illinois at Chicago.

AI’s ‘radical potential’ to personalize medicine using population data

Clinicians equipped with machine learning can, in theory, apply what works for one patient to the care of another—and another, and another—and so on.
