The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)’s Laboratory for Computational Physiology has published their MIMIC-Chest X-Ray Database (MIMIC-CXR)—a collection of more than 350,000 chest x-rays associated with 227,943 imaging studies sourced from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.

With the help of PET scans, researchers have found women’s brains appear to be three years younger than men’s. The findings, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, may explain why women tend to remain mentally sharper longer than men.

The system, named Doctor Alzimov, after the Russian-born science fiction writer, can be installed on any computer and can find nodules as small as 2 millimeters.

In 2018, capital investments in startup companies developing medical imaging AI solutions reached almost $580 million—more than double the 2017 amount of $270 million, according to a new market report published Jan. 31 by Signify Research.

A 14-layer convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on MRI and pathology data accurately predicted the molecular subtype of breast cancers, according to a Jan. 31 study published in the Journal of Digital Imaging. The method may help personalize treatment plans for the disease.

A research team out of Russia says it has developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) system for treating lung cancer patients that can interpret CT results in 20 seconds.

At JFK Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey, patients can have a 360-degree, three-dimensional (3D) tour of the inside of their own bodies before surgery with the help of virtual reality technology at the center's Neuroscience Institute, USA Today’s MyCentralJersey.com reported on Jan. 31.

Recent research has suggested that artificial intelligence (AI) may be keeping students from considering radiology as a career. The author of a letter to the editor published in Academic Radiology, however, noted that interest in radiology appears to be growing.
