A new white paper published in the Journal of Digital Imaging examined many of these issues, providing insight into what specialists can do to get past such problems and move forward.

Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) powered by artificial intelligence can accurately assess diminutive colorectal polyps, according to a new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine.

Computer-aided detection (CAD) software can improve radiologist efficiency when interpreting chest CTs, reducing reading times by as much as 44 percent, University of California, Los Angeles, researchers wrote in Academic Radiology this summer.

The American College of Radiology’s Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute and Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta have announced a new partnership focused on applying analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to large medical claims databases.
