AI-aided software for detecting visible clinically significant prostate cancer on mpMRI

Insights into Imaging July 2023

This study seeks to determine if artificial intelligence (AI)-based software can improve radiologists’ performance when detecting clinically significant prostate cancer. Sixteen radiologists from four hospitals participated and were assigned 30 cases, half without AI and half with AI. The authors determined that the AI software improves the performance of radiologists by reducing false positive detection of prostate cancer patients while

Using a multi-decoder water-fat separation neural network for liver PDFF estimation

European Radiology June 2023

The authors of this study proposed a multi-task U-Net-based architecture to jointly estimate water-only and fat-only images. This approach allowed for the improvement in the estimation of water-fat images, enabling a reduction of the necessary echoes to achieve an accurate proton density fat fraction (PDFF) quantification. The proposed method was shown to be a reliable liver fat quantification tool for

Hepatic steatosis increases liver volume

Seung Soo Lee June 2023

Our recent research published in European Radiology aimed to evaluate the impact of hepatic steatosis (HS) on liver volume by conducting a retrospective analysis of 1,038 living liver donors. We measured liver volume on gadoxetic acid-enhanced hepatobiliary phase MR images and proton density fat fraction (PDFF). Our results showed that HS leads to a 4.4% increase in liver volume per

Radiologists’ performance improved by algorithmic transparency and interpretability measures

European Radiology June 2023

This study’s aim was to evaluate the perception of various types of artificial intelligence-based assistance and the interaction of radiologists with the algorithm’s predictions and certainty measures. As was consistent with previous research, the authors determined that human performance was superior to both groups when combined with AI. They also found an increase in trust in the algorithm’s performance when

Machine learning and radiomics differentiate Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis

European Radiology June 2023

This retrospective study investigated whether volumetric visceral adipose tissue (VAT) features that were extracted using radiomics and three-dimensional convolutional neural network (3D-CNN) approaches are effective when differentiating Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The authors concluded that VAT-based deep learning and radiomics features were able to achieve fair accuracy in differentiating CD from UC. Key points High-output feature data

Covid-19 early detection: Neural Networks vs. Radiologists

Insights into Imaging May 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic not only made an impact on the discipline of radiology as a whole but also on how we use specific tools in its detection. This was especially seen in the role of chest radiography when it was utilized as a diagnostic tool at the beginning of the pandemic “when microbiological resources were scarce,” evolving into its use

Deep learning image reconstruction improves DECT image quality

European Radiology May 2023

The purpose of this phantom study was the compare the image quality of a deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithm and conventional iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithms in dual-energy CT (DECT) as well as assess the impact that these algorithms have on radiomics robustness. The authors determined that the new DLIR algorithm does in fact improve the quality of DECT images

Automated vetting of radiology referrals: exploring NLP and ML approaches

Insights into Imaging May 2023

As computed tomography (CT) sees an increase in utilization, inappropriate imaging has been seen as a significant concern; however, manual justification audits of radiology referrals are extremely time-consuming and carry a heavy financial burden. Therefore, the authors of this study aimed to retrospectively audit the justification of brain CT referrals by using natural language processing (NLP) and traditional machine learning

T2-weighted MRI-based radiomics discriminati between benign and borderline epithelial ovarian tumors

Insights into Imaging May 2023

The authors of this study investigated whether radiomics based on T2-weighted MRI was able to discriminate between benign and borderline epithelial ovarian tumors (EOTs) preoperatively. They were able to show that it can provide critical diagnostic information in the discrimination between benign and borderline EOTs, showing that there is potential to aid personalized treatment options. Key points T2-weighted MRI-based radiomics

Super-resolution application of GAN on brain time-of-flight MR angiography

European Radiology May 2023

This study aimed to develop a generative adversarial network (GAN) model to improve the image resolution of brain time-of-flight MR angiography (TOF-MRA), as well as evaluate the image quality and diagnostic utility of the reconstructed images. The results showed that an optimized GAN could significantly improve the image quality and vessel visibility of low-resolution 3D TOF-MRA while maintaining equivalent sensitivity
