An artificial intelligence (AI) system defeated a team of 15 doctors, 2-0, in two rounds of a competition that looked at the ability to diagnose brain tumors and predict the expansion of brain hematomas.

When researchers bought more than 200 types of tea, chocolate, herbs and other items they weren’t planning meals for the week. Instead, the team was searching for a contrast agent for imaging patients with swallowing disorders—they landed on barley.

A team of researchers from Singapore and the United States wrote about how their recent work with artificial intelligence (AI) could help healthcare providers with image analysis, sharing their analysis in a study published by Nature Medicine.

European researchers have developed a robust macroscale imaging technique based on florescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) that can analyze cellular processes up to four centimeters in size.

Reenita Das, a partner and senior vice president of healthcare and life sciences at Frost & Sullivan, wrote a new column examining the efforts being made by China and Israel to become leaders in the medical imaging artificial intelligence (AI) market.

Researchers have captured the highest-resolution image to date of the Zika virus, which caused a global health crisis in 2015, and left thousands of babies with serious birth defects. The research team believes the finding may aid in designing a vaccine to fight the virus.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning often get lumped together, but as the authors of a new Radiology commentary explained, the two terms are far from interchangeable. While machine learning is a specific field of data science that gives computers the ability to “learn” without being programmed with specific rules, AI is a more comprehensive term used to describe computers performing intelligent functions such as problem solving, planning, language processing and, yes, “learning.”

A deep-learning software that can automatically calculate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with less variability than a cardiologist recently received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
