AI Can Predict Need for CT in Pediatric Patients After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Only 10% of CT scans unveil positive findings in mild traumatic brain injury, raising concerns of its overuse in this population. In a new study, researchers have found that deep neural networks can be used to predict the need for CT in pediatric mild traumatic brain injury. More...06 Apr 2022

AI Predicts COVID Prognosis at Near-Expert Level Based Off CT Scans
A new study to evaluate the ability of a chest CT deep learning algorithm for quantification of COVID-19 lung disease found that it was highly predictive of inpatient outcomes and performed at a near expert level. More...05 Apr 2022

AI Helps Radiologists Detect and Predict Type 2 Diabetes on Abdominal CT Scans
A study that used fully automated deep learning to investigate patients who previously underwent colorectal cancer screening using CT colonography has found that CT biomarkers could help diagnose early stages of Type 2 diabetes and allow patients to make lifestyle changes to alter the course of this chronic disease.

CT Scan Study Shows Evidence of Persistent Lung Damage Long After COVID-19 Pneumonia
A new study has found that some people recovering from COVID-19 pneumonia have CT evidence of damage to their lungs that persists a full year after the onset of symptoms. The study underscores radiology’s role in helping identify patients at risk for post-COVID-19 consequences and assisting in COVID-19 follow-up management. More...01 Apr 2022

AI Shows Promising Results for Cancer Detection with Mammographic Screening
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has shown encouraging results for cancer detection, but evidence related to its use in real screening settings is limited. Now, a major new study has shown that AI is a promising tool for breast cancer detection in screening mammography programs. More...30 Mar 2022

AI-Enabled Tool Predicts Heart Attacks by Measuring Coronary Plaque Buildup in CTA Images
Investigators have created an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled tool that accurately predicts which patients would experience a heart attack in five years based on the amount and composition of plaque in arteries that supply blood to the heart. More...24 Mar 2022

New Quantitative Imaging Markers Could Improve Cancer Detection, Diagnosis and Treatment
Medical imaging is an essential tool to help doctors and scientists assess the size and scope of a tumor that will be effectively removed by surgery, as well as the rate at which tumors shrink in response to medical interventions such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Researchers are now investigating multiple avenues, including the development of quantitative imaging markers, to help improve medical imaging use in cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment.
