Washington University in St. Louis is set to become the second institution with a doctoral program dedicated to imaging science, with its inaugural class beginning in the fall. Mark Anastasio, PhD, the director of the new program, spoke with Health Imaging about the state of imaging education and incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into its curriculum.

Diagnostic error remains a major setback to improving the quality of radiology and overall interpretation of imaging examinations. What consistently induces diagnostic error is a radiologist's cognitive bias, according to a recent article published in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

A group of Chinese scientists and clinicians developed a learning artificial intelligence (AI) platform able to diagnose prostate cancer with the same accuracy as a human pathologist, according to a European Association of Urology press release.

Effective communication between medical imaging providers and pediatric patients and guardians about radiation risks remains problematic, despite improvements in imaging technology and protocol optimization, according to an article published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging may identify who is likely to recover from depression and who might not, according to recent research published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.

Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have developed a machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI)-based technique that may generate higher quality images without having to collect additional data.

Unconscious patients suffering from blunt neck injuries may benefit more from a CT scan without a follow-up MRI, reducing excessive costs on imaging exams, according to a study led by Ajay Malhotra, MBBS, MD, associate professor of radiology and biomedical imaging at Yale.

A new multimodal imaging approach produced highly-advanced molecular three-dimensional (3D) images of staph infection and may be instrumental in fighting antibiotic resistant infections, according to research published in Science Translational Medicine.

A Pennsylvania woman was shocked when quoted $351 for a breast MRI from the Crozer-Keystone Health System, before being billed $4,650 for the exam.  

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is perhaps the hottest topic across healthcare right now—especially in radiology. A recent Forbes article suggests the profession may be in a good spot to embrace the coming change.
