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. But is the CAD’s performance level high enough that specialists can follow the recommended “diagnose-and leave” strategy for diminutive polyps?
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.
Last year was the first time in a decade physician salaries didn’t increase by at least 2 percent, according to a survey published this week by AMGA Consulting. Though radiologists saw a dip in their average salaries, they’re still faring well compared to specialties like neurology and internal medicine.
The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) has written a letter to the FDA about ongoing shortages of generators that produce gallium-68 (Ga-68), a radioisotope used regularly in medical imaging.
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.
Fans of the “Star Wars” films have been dressing up as their favorite characters for decades, but two groups based out of Boise, Idaho, have joined forces to do something bit different: build their very own pink stormtrooper costume.
