How AI can help boost efficiency and cut stressSeptember 25, 2020 -- Artificial intelligence (AI) enables medical imaging staff to navigate the future in various ways, including raising efficiency, speeding up examination times, and improving workflow, according to Dr. Eliot Siegel. Don't miss part 2 of our coverage of his talk at the AuntMinnie.com Fall 2020 Virtual Conference.Discuss U.K. team shows stroke scans can reveal COVID-19 infectionSeptember 24, 2020 -- Researchers from a top London facility have highlighted a simple COVID-19 imaging biomarker obtained from CT angiography lung apices: the presence of ground-glass opacification. Their findings may have major implications for management of patients with suspected stroke.Discuss Pandemic leads to more fatigue and burnout, Siegel warnsSeptember 24, 2020 -- The COVID-19 pandemic has not only created new challenges for imaging but also exacerbated some existing ones, such as fatigue, stress, and burnout, informatics expert Dr. Eliot Siegel told AuntMinnie.com Fall 2020 Virtual Conference attendees on 22September.Discuss 600+ km trek across the Himalayas for cancer therapySeptember 23, 2020 -- It takes on average 18 hours by bus for patients to reach the cancer hospital in Nepal, and many of them travel over 600 km. Now the pandemic has made it even more difficult to get treatment, writes Tirthraj Adhikari, a medical physicist trained in Italy. He gives a personal account of the challenges faced by patients and staff.Discuss 50 years of CT scanning approachesSeptember 22, 2020 -- A widely held view is that the profits from the Beatles funded early research into the CT scanner, but this is an urban legend and there is no evidence for it, writes radiology's history buff Dr.Adrian Thomas. As CT's 50th anniversary looms large, he tells the story of the modality's origins.Discuss German team pioneers silicon ultrasound detectorsSeptember 22, 2020 -- Researchers from Munich have developed a new type of silicon-based ultrasound detector using a computer chip that can confine light in dimensions not seen by the human eye. As a result, it can visualize features much smaller than modern ultrasound systems can.Discuss MRI flags asymptomatic brain metastasis in breast cancerSeptember 21, 2020 -- A new German study looking at breast cancer brain metastasis detection by MRI has revealed that patients survive longer and may undergo less aggressive treatment if metastases are discovered before the onset of symptoms. The findings are to be presented at the virtual European Breast Cancer Conference on 2-3 October.Discuss Experience matters in detection of COVID-19 pneumoniaSeptember 18, 2020 -- Italian investigators have revealed that the capability of radiologists to detect COVID-19 pneumonia on chest x-rays grew over time, as they gained experience. This also applied to readers with less x-ray experience, they noted in an online article posted on 10 September in the European Journal of Radiology.Discuss Global COVID-19 survey casts light on modality useSeptember 17, 2020 -- A survey of 50 radiology departments in 33 countries has highlighted significant variations in imaging procedures for COVID-19 patients. Conducted by the International Society of Radiology and supported by the European Society of Radiology, the research was published online on 17 September by European Radiology.Discuss Synthetic lesions boost AI stroke detection resultsSeptember 17, 2020 -- After training on a dataset that included tens of thousands of synthetic images, an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm produced over 90% sensitivity for detecting clinical stroke lesions on MRI, Swiss researchers reported in a study published online on 16 September in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence.Discuss
