Study compares robotic CT-guided out-of-plane needle insertion with smartphone-guided application

European Radiology December 2019

The authors in this study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of robotic CT-guided out-of-plane needle insertion using phantom and animal experiments. A robotic system, Zerobot, which was developed at the authors’ institution, was used for needle insertion. Overall, there were 12 robotic needle insertions which were then compared with the same insertions performed by hand as well as guided by

Is Digitalization Driving Innovation or Innovation Digitalization?

ESR December 2019

In medical imaging, digitalization can be like the wheel is to cars and like the inclined plane is to construction, or it can satisfy needs. This can relate to either technology or workflow – or both. Neither MRI nor CT imaging could exist without digitalization. But determining whether digitalization is the actual technology or rather enabled its development is a

AI shows potential in low-resource settings

Melisande Rouger December 2019

The need for diagnostic images is rapidly exceeding the capacity of available specialists worldwide, and more acutely so in developing countries where access to healthcare remains challenging. AI is showing promise in TB diagnosis, but it could do much more, provided incentives went in the right direction, recent initiatives in Uganda have shown. Shortage of radiologists is a worldwide phenomenon,

Multiparametric MRI and auto-fixed volume of interest-based radiomics signature for clinically significant peripheral zone prostate cancer

ESR December 2019

The purpose of this study was to create a radiomics approach based on multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) features that were extracted from an auto-fixed volume of interest (VOI) that quantifies the phenotype of clinically significant peripheral zone prostate cancer (pCA). The study included 206 patients and the authors concluded that the developed radiomics model that extracts mpMRI features with an auto-fixed

A pilot study on the performance of machine learning appled to texture-analysis-derived features for breast lesion characterisation at ABUS

European Radiology Experimental December 2019

In this study, the authors aimed to determine whether features derived from texture analysis (TA) are able to distinguish between normal, benign, and malignant tissue on automated breast ultrasound (ABUS). This pilot study included 54 women who underwent ABUS with benign and malignant solid breast lesions. The authors concluded that TA, in combination with machine learning (ML), may very well

Long-term follow-up of persistent pulmonary pure ground-glass nodules with deep learning–assisted nodule segmentation

European Radiology December 2019

The aim of this study was to investigate the natural history of pulmonary pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs) with deep learning (DL)-assisted nodule segmentation. The authors concluded that DL can assist in accurately explaining the natural history of pGGNs and that pGGNs with a lobulated sign and larger initial diameter, volume, and mass are more likely to grow. Key points The

The cost of AI in radiology: is it really worth it?

Melisande Rouger November 2019

How much do you need to spend to use artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology? Between software, hardware and infrastructure, expenses can add up quickly. And without a reimbursement scheme, it takes more than just money to advance the field. One last price to pay could well be AI’s impact on the environment, as training a single algorithm emits a significant

Automated multiparametric localization of prostate cancer based on B-mode, shear-wave elastography, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound radiomics

European Radiology November 2019

In this study, the authors aimed to assess the potential of machine learning (ML) based on B-mode, shear-wave elastography (SWE), and dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (DCE-US) radiomics for the localization of prostate cancer lesions using transrectal ultrasound. The authors were able to demonstrate the technical feasibility of multiparametric ML to improve upon single US modalities for the localization of prostate cancer.
