While three-dimensional printing has been used in various industries for more than three decades, it took medicine just three or so years to catapult the technology into the popular imagination. Among burgeoning areas of healthcare innovation, probably AI alone has made more headlines in that short a span. And life-size models of individual patients’ organs, which allow surgeons to carefully plan complex procedures and consult with patients and families, are just the start.

A robotic needle-placement system outfitted with correction software to improve its accuracy in mechanizing computed tomography (CT)-guided needle placement, according to a study published ahead of print in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology.

Densitas, a medical device company based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, announced that DENSITAS|density, its software that uses machine learning to produce breast density reports, has gained FDA clearance.

Elad Walach, founder and CEO of the medical imaging company Aidoc, is one of many in the industry who believes radiology will be transformed by artificial intelligence (AI) sooner rather than later. He went into detail on the topic in a new column published in Forbes.

Radiology supercomputer “Project Clara” could improve imaging quality while speeding up the detection of fatal diseases like cancer and heart failure, Forbes has reported.

Despite radiology’s love-hate relationship with artificial intelligence (AI), advancements could afford the field an opportunity to “hit refresh” and reinvent itself, Emory University professor and radiologist Srini Tridandapani, PhD, MD, MSCR, wrote in Academic Radiology this month.

As online learning options for radiology continue to grow, some students are turning to Second Life—a virtual community developed by its own users and reigned by avatars—to complete their medical education, researchers in Malaga, Spain, have found.

Brainomix, a U.K.-based medical imaging company focused on artificial intelligence (AI), announced Tuesday, April 3, that it has secured $9.8 million (£7 million) to help market its software for treating stroke victims throughout the world.
