Researchers used a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify acute and non-acute findings in pediatric elbow x-rays, according to new research published in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence. The team’s recurrent neural network was able to interpret an entire series of images together, mimicking the decision-making process of a human radiologist.

Object detection convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can detect and localize fractures in wrist x-rays, according to a new study published in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence.

Horton General Hospital in Banbury, England, has installed new and improved x-ray equipment to help provide better patient care. The addition is part of a £3.2 million (approximately $4.4 million) upgrade to the hospital.

Researchers have trained an artificial intelligence (AI) system to prioritize chest x-rays containing critical findings, according to a new study published in Radiology.

At North Cotswolds Community Hospital in Gloucestershire, England, x-ray services were reduced due to ongoing staffing issues. There are now fears that this temporary change will be made permanent. 

A woman in Colorado was left stunned after she found herself with a $5,500 bill from a visit to a free-standing ER. She stopped at the facility when she was having difficulty breathing and received a chest x-ray.

The higher dose of radiation required to x-ray extremely obese patients increases those patients’ risk of cancer, according to new research published in the Journal of Radiological Protection. The chances of getting cancer due to undergoing an x-ray are still quite low, the authors added.
