AI-powered software can provide MRI-quality brain images from CT scans

AI-powered software can provide MRI-quality brain images from CT scans

In certain cases, a new method can provide as much information from brain images taken with computed tomography (CT) as images captured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The method, presented in a study from the University of Gothenburg, could enhance diagnostic support, particularly in primary care, for conditions such as dementia and other brain disorders. … Read more

New blood test could detect ovarian cancer early, improve treatment

New blood test could detect ovarian cancer early, improve treatment

High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most common type of ovarian cancer. It is also the most lethal form, in part because clinicians do not have effective ways to screen women for it during the cancer’s early stages, when it’s easiest to treat. For patients with a pelvic mass (an abnormal lump or growth … Read more

AI model combines imaging and patient data to improve chest X-ray diagnosis

AI model combines imaging and patient data to improve chest X-ray diagnosis

A new artificial intelligence (AI) model combines imaging information with clinical patient data to improve diagnostic performance on chest X-rays, according to a study published in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Clinicians consider both imaging and non-imaging data when diagnosing diseases. However, current AI-based approaches are tailored to solve … Read more

New workflow could significantly reduce wait time for urgent palliative radiation therapy

New workflow could significantly reduce wait time for urgent palliative radiation therapy

Using previously taken diagnostic computed tomography (CT) scans in place of CT simulation scans to plan simple palliative radiation treatments can substantially reduce the time some people spend waiting for urgent treatment, improving the patient experience, a new study suggests. Patients who may benefit from this expedited process typically are experiencing pain or other debilitating … Read more
