Deep learning with 3D kidney ultrasound | Cancer screening with abbreviated breast MRI | More

Mayo Clinic researchers have demonstrated a deep learning model that can automatically segment kidneys and measure total kidney volumes using only 3D ultrasound images.

AB-MRI is a cost-effective means of screening women with dense breast tissue for breast cancer—as long as the per-exam costs don’t top 82% of what would have been spent to perform full-protocol breast MRI.

Researchers have found the condition significantly less among patients who received at least two doses of a COVID vaccine.

Diagnostic radiology is not immune to the likelihood. All radiologists, trainees and technologists who perform or assist in image-guided needle biopsies or intravenous contrast administration live with some level of risk. 

Video reports could play an important role in increasing radiologists’ roles in patient-centered care, experts have suggested. 

Researchers examined data from more than 750,000 heart failure hospitalizations, sharing their findings in JACC: Heart Failure. 

The 400+ closures projected for 2022 are nearly double the next highest year, when 220 nursing homes closed in 2019.
