AI Tool Performs Automatic Segmentation and Lesion Detection in Prostate MRI Scans
A new tool for prostate MRI analysis performs segmentation of the prostate, its sub-sections, and lesions. It also analyzes the lesions’ intensity, restriction, size, and shape, and provides a baseline for PI-RADS score. RSIP Vision’s (Jerusalem, Israel) new PI-RADS assistant provides objective analysis of the prostate MRI scan, with measurable statistics which can be used to improve scoring accuracy.

MRI/PET Scans Link Brainstem Atrophy to Dementia Symptoms
Frontotemporal dementia, FTD, comes with extrapyramidal symptoms, such as those in Parkinson’s disease, and this makes the diagnosis of FTD challenging. However, a new study now shows that accurate imaging and analysis of the brain may make it possible to distinguish between FTD and other diseases that cause extrapyramidal symptoms.

Algorithm Uses Raw MRI Images to Predict If and When Someone Will Have Cardiac Arrest
An algorithm built to assess scar patterns in patient heart tissue can predict potentially life-threatening arrhythmias more accurately than doctors can. The new artificial intelligence-based approach can predict if and when a patient could die of cardiac arrest. More...08 Apr 2022

AI-Enhanced Cardiac MRI Platform Evaluates Congenital Heart Disease in Real Time
A comprehensive, cloud-based post-processing solution leverages AI and deep learning to provide extremely accurate, automated, fast, repeatable analysis of cardiac MRI images that are as accurate as segmentations performed manually by expert physicians. More...08 Apr 2022

AI-Driven Algorithm Uses fMRI Scans to Detect Autism and Predict Severity
Researchers at Stanford University (Stanford, CA, USA) have developed an algorithm that may help discern if someone has autism by looking at brain scans as well as successfully predict the severity of autism symptoms in individual patients. More...07 Apr 2022

Brain Mapping Study Using Large-Scale MRI Images Aims to Detect Alzheimer’s Disease Earlier
About 50 million people worldwide are living with Alzheimer’s and forms of dementia, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. The disease kills more people than breast and prostate cancers combined. Now, a new study will map the brain using large-scale magnetic resonance (MRI) images in an effort to identify stable brain landmarks called ‘anchor-nodes’ and detect Alzheimer’s disease earlier.
