| This Week’s News | As the relationship between radiology and artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, radiology trainees may find themselves wondering what, exactly, they should know about these groundbreaking technologies. Do they need to be AI experts? Can they just avoid the subject altogether?

| After a year of soul searching and strategic review, GE announced its move today to spin off GE Healthcare into a standalone company over the next 12 to 18 months. The goal, the company said, is a leaner corporate structure with substantial reductions in debt.

| Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning often get lumped together, but as the authors of a new Radiology commentary explained, the two terms are far from interchangeable. While machine learning is a specific field of data science that gives computers the ability to “learn” without being programmed with specific rules, AI is a more comprehensive term used to describe computers performing intelligent functions such as problem solving, planning, language processing and, yes, “learning.” Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning often get lumped together, but as the authors of a new Radiology commentary explained, the two terms are far from interchangeable.

| Stella Kang, MD, MSc, was the lead author of a study that determined women who undergo breast cancer screening with mammography are much more likely to utilize other preventive services than unscreened women. She spoke to Radiology Business about the importance of that study and more.

| Management recommendations for high-risk lesions detected by a core needle biopsy of the breast are inconsistent, according to a new study published in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology. Could the development of consensus recommendations improve patient care?
