Researchers from Drexel University and experts in aerospace engineering at ISAE-SUPAERO in Toulouse, France, found aircraft pilots commit more errors operating a real aircraft than a flight simulator by measuring brain activity using a portable, cognitive imaging system.

British Prime Minister Theresa May announced this week she will pledge millions of pounds to the fight against cancer through the development of artificial intelligence (AI), Forbes has reported.

Quality measures

As the industry turns increasingly toward value-based care, radiologists might want to prioritize and cultivate their professional relationships, one Texan physician wrote in the Journal of the American College of Radiology this month.

Kidney image. About 80% of chronic kidney disease patients actually die from cardiovascular complications. Although the link between these diseases is well established, the actual biological mechanism involved has not been fully understood. But researchers at Temple University recently uncovered a key piece to this connection, where chronic kidney disease and high-fat diets combine to trigger blood vessel inflammation. Their findings are published online in Redox Biology.[1]

The development of acute kidney injury (AKI) has been linked to the use of contrast media during imaging, but a recent JACR study found these incidents have likely been overestimated.

A lawsuit filed by State Farm Insurance claims Detroit attorney Mike Morse had an undisclosed financial relationship with Berkley, Michigan-based Horizon Imaging, an MRI provider that accepted referrals from Morse's law firm.

Implementing a verification simulation, or “dry run,” before a scheduled radiotherapy session could minimize possible errors and patient anxiety in the radiology suite.

Innovation at work

A referring physician orders an MRI of the lumbar spine and hits send. That order lands at three, sometimes four, outpatient imaging centers simultaneously. The center that contacts the patient first books the appointment. The rest miss out on the revenue.
