Researchers have combined three emerging technologies to detect and classify breast cancers found in follow-up imaging of women whose recent screening mammography was deemed normal.

A multi-institutional image-data repository launched to support AI-based research into COVID-19 has been the beneficiary of more than 30,000 anonymized imaging files from the Radiological Society of North America alone.

Brian Ghoshhajra, MD, MBA, division chief, cardiovascular imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital and associate professor of radiology, Harvard Medical School, and a board member of the Society of cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT), explains the rapidly expanding interest in cardiac computed tomography (CT) under the new chest pain evaluation guidelines.

AI can help humans inspect chest X-rays for COVID-19, but the technology is unfit to serve as a standalone diagnostic tool for that purpose. 

If demography is indeed destiny, U.S. healthcare is headed for a major escalation in spending on medical imaging over the next three decades. 

Elizabeth Bergey, MD, a diagnostic radiologist at Quantum, chairman of Quantum’s Board of Directors, discusses some of the questions radiology practices should be asking when evaluating orchestration software.

A new survey sought to assess how professionals perceived the conversion from in-person to strictly virtual medical conferences during the height of COVID restrictions in the summer of 2020.

A new study reveals the damage caused to cardiovascular programs by the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to accrue unless mitigation strategies are implemented quickly. The review found a number of people dying are at home from heart conditions. 

“It seems obvious that addressing social needs, like food and housing, in clinical settings would benefit patients,” said first study author Claire Chang, a University of Michigan Medical School student.
