Deep learning for automatic bowel-obstruction identification on abdominal CT

In our recent study, we developed an automated system for evaluating abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans to assist radiologists in managing their substantial workloads, thus improving patient outcomes. Our machine-learning model focuses on reliably identifying suspected bowel obstruction (BO) on abdominal CT scans. We used an internal dataset of 1,345 annotated CT scans, of which only 670 were re-annotated by

Reproducibility of a combined AI and optimal-surface graph-cut method to automate bronchial parameter extraction

The authors of this study evaluated the reproducibility of a deep learning and optimal-surface graph-cut method to automatically segment the airway lumen and wall, and calculate bronchial parameters. A deep-learning model was trained on 24 low-dose chest CT scans. The study demonstrated a comprehensive and fully automatic pipeline for bronchial parameter measurement on low-dose CT using open-source tools. Key points

A novel AI model to distinguish benign from malignant ovarian tumors

The authors of this study developed a CT-based artificial intelligence model with the ability to differentiate between benign and malignant ovarian tumors, showing high accuracy and specificity. In coordination with less-experienced radiologists, the model helped in the performance of ovarian tumor assessment, with applications to provide better therapeutic strategies for patients with ovarian tumors. Key points CT-based radiomics and deep

Commercial AI solutions in detecting COVID‐19 pneumonia in chest CT: not yet ready for clinical implementation?

Thinking back on the last two years, what were the dominant topics of discussion in radiology? Certainly, artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology has sparked a lot of interest and enthusiasm in radiology, and COVID-19, which was a topic nobody could avoid. So, it comes as no surprise that the combination of both topics – i.e. using AI to detect COVID

A fully automatic artificial intelligence–based CT image analysis system for accurate detection, diagnosis, and quantitative severity evaluation of pulmonary tuberculosis

The authors of this study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based fully automated CT image analysis system in order to detect and diagnose pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). This was achieved through the retrospective use of 892 chest CT scans from pathogen-confirmed TB patients. It was found that the end-to-end AI system based on chest CT is able to achieve human-level

A fully automated software platform for structural mitral valve analysis

There has been great interest in the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of medical imaging. AI has the potential to be useful in multiple arenas including the improvement of diagnostic accuracy as well as improving workflow and helping increase human efficiency in study interpretation. Cardiac imaging has been one focus of AI and has yielded
