It is projected that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime, and one in 42 women who turn…
Image: AI-assisted breast-cancer screening may reduce unnecessary testing (Photo courtesy of WUSTL) Radiologists typically detect one case of cancer for every 200 mammograms reviewed. However, these evaluations often result in false positives, leading to unnecessary patient recalls for additional testing, which not only causes patient anxiety but also consumes valuable medical resources. Now, a new…
Image: AI could help chest DDR achieve clinical adoption (Photo courtesy of 123RF) For diagnosing lung conditions, healthcare professionals typically rely on chest X-rays and pulmonary function tests (PFTs), which provide a snapshot of lung health. However, these traditional methods only offer a limited static assessment. Recent advancements have highlighted chest dynamic digital radiography (DDR)…
Image: 3D mammography almost halves the incidence of breast cancer between two screening tests (Photo courtesy of University of Cordoba) Breast cancer represents 28.9% of all cancers in women and is the primary cause of cancer-related deaths among this group. Interval breast cancers are those diagnosed in the period between two screening sessions, following a…
Image: The CIARTIC Move self-driving mobile C-arm has received FDA clearance (Photo courtesy of Siemens) Intraoperative imaging faces significant challenges due to staff shortages and the high demands placed on surgical teams in the operating room (OR). A common challenge during many OR procedures is the frequent need to reposition the C-arm to provide surgeons…
: Image: The AI model could be a valuable adjunct to human radiologists in breast cancer diagnoses and risk prediction (Photo courtesy of 123RF) Approximately 13% of U.S. women, or one in every eight, are predicted to develop invasive breast cancer over their lifetime, with 1 in 39 women (3%) succumbing to the illness, according…
