On Artificial Intelligence: An interview with Merel Huisman

In our latest interview, we spoke with Merel Huisman, a cardiovascular and musculoskeletal radiologist at Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, Netherlands and an EuSoMII Board Member. Huisman has a passion for artificial intelligence, spanning almost a decade, even appearing on television in the Netherlands to discuss AI in the healthcare space. Furthermore, Huisman is also an Associate Editor for

Marginal Contribution of Current AI Application in Radiology in the Western World

Huisman et al. highlight the context-dependent value of AI in radiology. In their article, “The Emperor Has Few Clothes: A Realistic Appraisal of Current AI in Radiology,” they present a critical perspective on AI’s actual impact in the Western setting. Merel Huisman, a radiologist and clinical epidemiologist with a special focus on AI, sees it as her mission to caution

Deep learning-based algorithm vs. Virtual monoenergetic imaging and orthopedic metal artifact reduction

This study compared the image quality, metal artifacts, and diagnostic confidence of conventional CT images of unilateral total hip arthroplasty patients (THA) with deep learning-based metal artifact reduction (DL-MAR) to conventional CT and 130-keV monoenergetic images with and without orthopedic metal artifact reduction (O-MAR). They found that DL-MAR showed not only higher image quality but also diagnostic confidence and superior

On Artificial Intelligence: An interview with Brendan Kelly

This week, we were extremely delighted to dive into the topic of artificial intelligence in radiology with Brendan Kelly. With a passion for AI, Kelly is currently an AI and Paediatric Radiology Fellow at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust, a 2024 NDTP Dr. Richard Steevens Fellow, and an ESOR Fellow in AI and Paediatric Radiology. In

Predictive potential of intratumoral and multiregion peritumoral radiomics

This study published in Insights into Imaging highlighted the potential of a multiparametric MRI-based radiomic model that integrated intratumoral and peritumoral features as a tool to predict differentiation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The authors found that the IntraPeri model showed an outstanding ability to predict individualized HCC differentiation through integrating intratumoral and optimal peritumoral features. Key points: Article: Multiparametric MRI-based

On Artificial Intelligence: An interview with Michail Klontzas

The ESR’s AI blog was honored to speak with Michail Klontzas this week, to add to our growing series “On Artificial Intelligence”. Klontzas is currently an Assistant Professor of Radiology at the University of Crete in Heraklion, Greece, as well as an Editorial Board Member for the ESR’s flagship journal, European Radiology, in the Musculoskeletal section. Klontzas has a wealth

AI can generate a scientific paper from scratch that can survive the peer-review process

In our latest exploration, we embarked on a journey to test the resilience of the peer-review systemagainst the ever-growing influence of AI in scientific literature. Alongside my colleague, weconceived a purely fictional MRI technique—Magnetic Resonance Audiometry (MRA)—and askedan AI model to generate an entire manuscript around it. The result? A complete, technically robustresearch paper, complete with equations, references, and even

On Artificial Intelligence: An interview with Susan Shelmerdine

We were delighted to speak with Susan Shelmerdine this week for our interview series, “On Artificial Intelligence”. Among Shelmerdine’s many accolades are her roles as the Chairperson for the Artificial Intelligence Taskforce at the European Society of Paediatric Radiology as well as the prestigious Roentgen Professorship at The Royal College of Radiologists. Join us as we do a deep dive

Automatic segmentation of fat metaplasia on sacroiliac joint MRI using deep learning

The authors of this study developed a deep learning model used for segmenting fat metaplasia (FM) on sacroiliac joint (SIJ) MRI with the additional aim of utilizing the deep learning model to classify axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and non-axSpA. They were able to conclude that the deep learning model could automatically and accurately segment FM on SIJ MRI, helping to increase
