ABB, an international technology company, has opened its first global healthcare research hub in Houston, Texas, to demonstrate some of its robotic solutions.

“The Center for Intelligent Imaging will serve as a hub for the multidisciplinary development of AI in imaging to meet unmet clinical needs and provide a platform to measure impact and outcomes of this technology,” said Christopher Hess, MD, PhD, chair of the UCSF Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging.

New research utilizing functional MRI (fMRI) has cast doubts on a commonly believed theory about dyslexia, potentially paving the way for new approaches to the learning disorder.

Applied to head CT images, AI software can help speed diagnosis of ischemic stroke while also localizing large vessel occlusions when the latter are a culprit, according to a systematic review of studies published over a five-year period ending in February.

A newly created four-dimensional virtual catheter technique allows for reproducible, automated estimation of blood flow in patients with congenital bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), reported authors of an Oct. 8 study published in Radiology.

A convolutional neural network (CNN) could potentially help with the detection and segmentation of suspicious findings on prostate MRI scans, according to new findings published in Radiology.

"Income volatility is at a record level since the early 1980s and there is growing evidence that it may have pervasive effects on health," said Adina Zeki Al Hazzouri, PhD, assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia Mailman School of Public Health.

As the use of artificial intelligence continues to proliferate in healthcare, radiologists may be opening themselves up to a whole new set of liability concerns.
