Image: The Radialis PET Imager (Photo courtesy of RSNA) Mammography, while effective in the early detection of breast cancer, has reduced sensitivity in dense breast tissue due to the masking effect of dense fibroglandular tissue. This presents a challenge, as nearly half the screening population has dense breasts, often necessitating additional imaging, like MRI, after…
Image: AI has been shown to improve the performance of non-radiologists in chest imaging (Photo courtesy of 123RF) Chest X-rays are frequently used to decide if a disease needs immediate attention. However, making this determination is hardly easy. It requires experts to identify things like projection phenomena, superimpositions, and other complex representations in the images….

Carestream Health (Rochester,…
Image: Artificial intelligence improves detection during chest X-ray interpretation (Photo courtesy of 123RF) Artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted diagnosis imparts high accuracy to chest radiography (CXR) interpretation; however, its benefit for non-radiologist physicians in detecting lung lesions on CXR remains unclear. Now, a new study has found that AI-assisted CXR interpretation improves the diagnostic performance of non-radiologist…
Image: AI modeling detects and classifies breast microcalcifications (Photo courtesy of 123RF) Breast cancer screening through mammography is crucial for early detection, yet the demand for mammography services surpasses the capacity of radiologists. Artificial intelligence (AI) can assist in evaluating microcalcifications in mammography scans. A team of researchers has now developed and tested an AI…
Image: The AI tool can identify non-smokers who are at high risk for lung cancer using a single X-ray (Photo courtesy of 123RF) Lung cancer is currently the leading cause of cancer mortality. Notably, 10-20% of lung cancer cases are diagnosed in individuals classified as “never-smokers” – those who have either never smoked or have…
Image: ProFound AI predicts 1-2 year risk for breast cancer and reveals insights for heart disease (Photo courtesy of iCAD) Recent research has revealed that calcium deposits in the breast’s blood vessels are linked to the hardening of cardiovascular arteries. Studies have shown that women with breast arterial calcifications (BAC) face a 51% increased risk…
