Digital breast tomosynthesis versus digital mammography: integration of image modalities enhances deep learning-based breast mass classification

European Radiology February 2020

The authors of this study evaluated the impact of utilizing digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and/or full-field digital mammography (FFDM), and different transfer learning strategies, on deep convolutional neural network (DCNN)-based mass classification for breast cancer. The authors found that integrating DBT and FFDM in DCNN training helps to enhance breast mass classification accuracy. Key points Transfer learning facilitates mass classification

Radiogenomics of lower-grade gliomas: machine learning–based MRI texture analysis for predicting 1p/19q codeletion status

Burak Kocak February 2020

In this work, we aimed to evaluate the potential value of the machine learning (ML)–based MRI texture analysis for predicting 1p/19q codeletion status of lower-grade gliomas (LGG). This retrospective study was totally based on public data. We reduced the high-dimensionality of the radiomic data with collinearity analysis and ReliefF algorithm. Then, we used seven ML classifiers for the development of

Fully Interlinked for Rapid Data Exchange in Mammography

ESR January 2020

In the region of southern Denmark, a broad network of hospitals provides medical services for the 1.2 million residents of South Jutland and the island of Funen. A mammography screening program for women ranging in age from 50 to 69 has been running there for 25 years. More than 100,000 women are called in for an examination every year, and

Patients’ views on the implementation of artificial intelligence in radiology: development and validation of a standardized questionnaire

European Radiology January 2020

In this study, the authors aimed to develop and validate a patient questionnaire on the patients’ view on the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology. Six domains from a previous study were used to develop the patient questionnaire. The questionnaire explored accountability, distrust, personal interaction, and efficiency, among other areas. Key points Although AI systems are increasingly developed, not

Prediction of pulmonary pressure after Glenn shunts by computed tomography–based machine learning models

European Radiology January 2020

The aim of this retrospective study was to develop non-invasive machine learning (ML) classifiers for predicting post-Glenn shunt patients with low and high risks of a mean pulmonary arterial pressure above 15 mmHg, which was based on pre-operative cardiac CT. The study included 96 patients who underwent a bidirectional Glenn procedure. Key points Twenty-three candidate descriptors were manually extracted from

Evaluation of an AI-based, automatic coronary artery calcium scoring software

European Radiology January 2020

In this study, using a semi-automatic software as a reference, the authors aimed to evaluate an artificial intelligence (AI)-based, automatic coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring software. This observational study included 315 non-contrast-enhanced calcium scoring computed tomography (CSCT) scans. The authors determined that there was a strong correlation between the automatic software and the semi-automatic software for three CAC scores and

Deep learning-based detection system for multiclass lesions on chest radiographs: comparison with observer readings

European Radiology January 2020

In this study, the authors sought to investigate the feasibility of a deep learning-based detection (DLD) system for multiclass legions on chest radiograph. The study included almost 16,000 chest radiographs collected from two tertiary hospitals, which were then used to develop a DLD system. The authors found that the DLD system showed potential for detections of lesions and pattern classification.

Combining DWI radiomics features with transurethral resection promotes the differentiation between muscle-invasive bladder cancer and non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer

European Radiology December 2019

The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the value of radiomics features from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in differentiating muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) from non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The study included 218 bladder cancer patients who underwent DWI prior to biopsy between July 2014 and December 2018. The authors discovered that combining DWI radiomics features with transurethral resection (TUR)
