Radiomics machine-learning signature for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic patients with indeterminate liver nodules

This article sets out to determine whether machine learning can be used to train and calibrate the signature for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic patients with indeterminate liver nodules. The authors proved that artificial intelligence could enhance clinicians’ decision and reduce the rate of cirrhotic patients requiring liver biopsy. Key points In cirrhotic patients with visually indeterminate liver nodules, expert

Breast cancer Ki-67 expression prediction by digital breast tomosynthesis radiomics features

Despite the encouraging results, more studies are needed in order to further evaluate these preliminary findings and to find to what extent radiomics and AI approaches can be integrated in clinical practice in a useful and reliable strategy [1]. I think that several issues reduce the application of radiomics approaches in clinical practice: the lack of knowledge of its basic

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
