Does size matter? 3 key findings from a new study on developing AI for radiology research

When research teams are developing deep learning models, they have to make certain decisions about the image resolutions used in their work. For instance, should they always aim to use the largest images possible? Or are there times when smaller images can get the job done?  

Risk-based imaging most cost-effective approach in children with potential appendicitis

Utilizing more efficient imaging protocols could spare patients from unnecessary radiation while also improving value.
