Publications on artificial intelligence: an interview with Professor Zhi-Cheng Li

Alex Vogel June 2019

The topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is on the tip of everyone’s tongue in healthcare, especially those involved in radiology. When one thinks of AI in radiology, initial thoughts may consist of new imaging algorithms or futuristic machines assisting doctors. However, one area that may not immediately be considered is that of publishing all the new research. Radiological journals must

Using radiomics for the preoperative estimation of pathological grade in bladder cancer tumors

European Radiology June 2019

The goal of this study was to develop and authenticate an MRI-based radiomics strategy for the preoperative estimation of pathological grade in bladder cancer (BCa) tumors. The obtained radiomic features were evaluated for diagnostic abilities using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and compared using the DeLong test. The authors then performed validation using 30 consecutive patients and were able

AI guru gives a glimpse into the future of radiology with AI

Melisande Rouger June 2019

With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, new opportunities will arise for radiologists if they remain focused and critical, ‘rock star of the digital revolution’ Toby Walsh told delegates at the ESR AI Premium event. A new continent Artificial intelligence (AI) is going to transform every aspect of human life and could generate 15.7 trillion USD – almost China and India’s

Application of a deep learning algorithm for detection and visualization of hip fractures on plain pelvic radiographs

Chien-Hung Liao, Chi-Tung Cheng June 2019

In this study, we developed the DCNN not only for the automated detection of hip fractures on frontal pelvic radiographs but also to offer visualization of the fracture site by Grad-CAM, which enables the rapid integration of this tool into the current medical system. The age of artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities but also poses challenges, for physicians. Deep

Artificial Intelligence: From Buzzword into Clinical Routine

ESR May 2019

Artificial intelligence (AI) shows strong promise in helping to address global challenges faced by healthcare. Through improving patient outcomes or expanding precision medicine, AI offers the opportunity to manage staff shortages and enable cost-effectiveness. According to a study conducted by the management consulting firm PWC, the use of AI helps with early detection of serious diseases and leads to better

MRI radiomics in categorizing ovarian masses and predicting clinical outcome: a preliminary study

European Radiology May 2019

This study aimed to assess whether MRI radiomics can categorize ovarian masses and to determine the association between MRI radiomics and survival among ovarian epithelial cancer patients. The authors evaluated the diagnostic performance of the signatures derived from MRI radiomics in 286 patients with proven adnexal tumor. The study results suggest a correlation between radiomics features extracted from MRI and

AI can reduce reading times and improve reader performance in breast and chest

Melisande Rouger May 2019

Tools using artificial intelligence (AI) for medical imaging can help detect and classify lesions in an increasing number of clinical applications. In breast and chest imaging, algorithms can now significantly expedite workflow and improve cancer risk prediction, two experts explained during the ESR AI Premium meeting earlier this month in Barcelona, Spain. Breast cancer screening Breast cancer (BC) screening with

Deep learning reconstruction improves image quality of abdominal ultra-high-resolution CT

European Radiology May 2019

Deep learning reconstruction (DLR) is a novel method of reconstruction that introduces deep convolutional neural networks into the reconstruction flow. The authors of this research examined the clinical applicability of abdominal ultra-high-resolution CT (U-HRCT) exams reconstructed with a new DLR and to compare it to hybrid and model-based iterative reconstruction (hybrid-IR, MBIR). Radiologists analysed and graded results from 46 patients

Taking artificial intelligence out of the black box: An “interpretable” deep learning system for liver tumour diagnosis

European Radiology May 2019

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have demonstrated the potential to become effective and accurate decision support tools for radiologists. A major barrier to clinical translation, however, is that the majority of such algorithms currently function like a “black box”. After training a CNN with a large set of input and output data, its internal layers are automatically adjusted to mathematically “map”
