Why I Stopped Worrying And Love The Intelligent Machine

The future will always be just that…until it becomes the present. That is especially true when the future involves science. What if science fiction has a way of turning – suddenly – into scientific fact? Like flying machines and spacecraft, one day they existed only in theory, and the next, they became a reality. At the annual meeting of the

A machine learning model for the prediction of survival and tumor subtype in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma from preoperative diffusion-weighted imaging

The aim of this study was to develop a supervised machine learning (ML) algorithm that would use diffusion-weighted imaging-derived radiomic features to predict median overall survival in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Based on the evaluation of 132 patients, it was determined that the use of ML allowed the prediction of overall survival with high diagnostic accuracy. Key points Pancreatic

Deep learning to convert unstructured CT pulmonary angiography reports into structured reports

We believe that the possibilities for artificial intelligence (AI) over the coming years will be limited only by our imagination. While there is a tremendous amount of warranted excitement for disease detection, characterization, and quantification with AI algorithms, less rousing but still valuable efforts can and should be made to improve operational efficiency and even reduce the growing problem of

MRI-based radiomics nomogram may predict the response to induction chemotherapy and survival in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma

This study integrated the clinical data and radiomics signature generated by a support vector machine to establish a radiomics nomogram for prediction of induction chemotherapy response and survival in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. The results proved that multiparametric MRI-based radiomics could be helpful for personalized risk stratification in patients receiving induction chemotherapy. Key points MRI Radiomics can predict IC response and

Changing the healthcare game through artificial intelligence

We recently spoke with Jörg Aumüller, who leads the Digital Health global marketing team at Siemens Healthineers. In our interview, we touched on the issue of growing medical data, how companies can stay ahead of legal and regulatory challenges, new roles and professions being created as a result of the introduction of AI tools and technology, and how these tools

Algorithms: All Set to Shape Tomorrow’s Medicine

Across all medical disciplines, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning will transform medicine beyond most people’s imaginations. Algorithms that help evaluate radiological images are just the beginning. AI could become an indispensable tool across all branches of medicine. From virtual assistants in the living room to intelligent investment algorithms and from software-based traffic control to autonomous driving, there is no

Looking outside the box: AI learns to play chess through language, the NHS invests in AI, and tools for sign language recognition

This week in artificial intelligence (AI) news, we take a look at a programme that learns chess through listening to real match commentary, the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) making big investments in AI, and the development of AI tools for reading sign language. Researchers at University College London have proposed a new algorithm, which allows the programme to learn

Looking outside the box: AI solves the Rubik’s cube, Africa as a new tech hub, and AI training in the UK

This week in artificial intelligence (AI) news, we take a look at AI solving the infamous Rubik’s cube, Africa’s future role in the global AI community, and the importance of radiological professionals being trained in AI in order to assess new tools and technologies coming to market. It’s one achievement to programme a computer to solve a Rubik’s cube, but

Why radiomics research does not translate to clinical practice: evaluation of literature using RQS and TRIPOD

Over the last few years, the number of studies published using quantitative imaging biomarkers to classify or predict pathologies has steadily increased. As of today, a quick PubMed search for radiomics, imaging biomarkers or radiogenomics reveals well over 4,000 articles. However, somewhat surprisingly, given this amount of published research, outside of academic literature there is no widespread clinical application of

AI-assisted education for rads: challenges and promises

The first meeting of the European Society of Radiology (ESR) dedicated to Artificial Intelligence (AI) gathered a large panel of delegates from different counties and backgrounds, yet they all had one thing in common: during their education, they all used old books and didactical procedures, which, in most cases, are out-dated. AI could help boost education in many fields, including
