Upon training a machine learning model to analyze ultrasound images of the neck, researchers tested their algorithm and have found it correctly flagged likely cancerous nodules of the thyroid gland at a 97% clip.

The AI software assisted in various tasks, such as segmenting, labeling and measuring normal structures, providing an automated analysis of pulmonary, cardiac and musculoskeletal findings.

Testing AI’s ability to detect carotid artery disease on ultrasound, U.K. researchers have found their algorithm achieved 90% accuracy, along with 87% sensitivity and 82% specificity, at the task.

Supporting telehealth, reforming Medicare, fixing the prior authorization process—these are three of five goals the American Medical Association is pursuing in an expansive new program.

During one surge, the hospital’s CT volumes spiked to 55% higher than pre-pandemic levels—no doubt due to heavy demand for advanced chest imaging.

In addition to the eBooks, study guides and a Virtual Hospital Platform simulator for hands-on training that were acquired, SIIM will now also own various “go to market” courses in subjects such as PACS, DICOM, HL7 and FHIR.

Voice-triggered macros are spoken voice commands that trigger a subsequent command in order to perform a specified task. Software that achieves this is easily implemented into workflows and can complete virtually innumerable tasks. 

Some decisions after a cyberattack are reactive and made on the fly, but imaging operations can take a number of steps ahead of time to plan for unplanned downtime and limit the impact of a temporary outage.
