Researchers used a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify acute and non-acute findings in pediatric elbow x-rays, according to new research published in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence. The team’s recurrent neural network was able to interpret an entire series of images together, mimicking the decision-making process of a human radiologist.

The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) and American College of Nuclear Medicine (ACNM) submitted a joint statement to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) opposing potential changes in the NRC’s training and experience requirements for authorized users to administer radiopharmaceuticals.  

Researchers have determined that increasing the number of core biopsy samples obtained using MRI-targeted transrectal ultrasound biopsy can lead to the detection of more clinically significant prostate cancers.

Object detection convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can detect and localize fractures in wrist x-rays, according to a new study published in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence.

Aetna has launched Attain, a new application for the Apple Watch that tracks daily activities and rewards users for achieving certain health-related goals. It will also be able to help patients find low-cost medical imaging options.  

Siemens Healthineers announced Wednesday, Jan. 30, that its MAGNETOM Lumina 3T MRI scanner has received FDA clearance.

A ward boy working at a hospital in Pune, India—roughly three hours southwest of Mumbai—was arrested and charged for filming a female patient changing her clothes for an MRI scan, according to a report published online Jan. 27 by The Times of India. 

A team from the Ohio State University College of Medicine is leading research aimed at determining if focused ultrasound surgery can help treat adult patients suffering from epileptic seizures. The group’s clinical trial is said to be the first of its kind.
