AI system accurately detects key findings in chest X-rays of pneumonia patients within 10 seconds
From 20 minutes or more to 10 seconds. Researchers from Intermountain Healthcare and Stanford University say 10 seconds is about how quickly a new system they studied that utilizes artificial intelligence took to accurately identify key findings in chest X-rays of patients in the emergency department suspected of having pneumonia.
Read moreArtificial intelligence improves biomedical imaging
Researchers use artificial intelligence to improve quality of images recorded by a relatively new biomedical imaging method. This paves the way towards more accurate diagnosis and cost-effective devices.
Read moreMen with prostate cancer can be spared radiotherapy after surgery, study suggests
Men with prostate cancer can be spared radiotherapy after surgery, according to new results. The study answers a longstanding question about whether the benefits of radiotherapy after surgery outweigh the side-effects.
Read moreTechnique can image individual proteins within synapses
Researchers have devised a new way to rapidly image synaptic proteins at high resolution. Using fluorescent nucleic acid probes, they can label and image as many as 12 different proteins in neuronal samples containing thousands of synapses.
Read moreMachine learning could offer faster, more precise results for cardiac MRI scans
Cardiac MRI scans can be read by AI (artificial intelligence) 186 times faster than humans, with comparable precision to experts. Because the greatest source of measurement errors are human factors, AI has the potential to improve future clinical decision making.
Read moreScientists develop technique to observe radiation damage over femtoseconds
Scientists have developed a technique to observe how radiation damages molecules over time-frames of just one quadrillionth of a second — or a femtosecond.
Read moreFast MRIs offer alternative to CT scans for pediatric head injuries
Researchers have released a study that shows that a new imaging method 'fast MRI' is effective in identifying traumatic brain injuries in children, and can avoid exposure to ionizing radiation and anesthesia.
Read moreResearchers find new ways to improve CPR
An international research consortium was able to identify what is likely an optimal combination of chest compression frequency and depth when performing CPR.
Read moreHandheld device to diagnose skin cancer
Using shortwave rays installed in cellphones and airport security scanners, researchers have developed a technique that detects skin lesions and determines whether they are cancerous or benign — a technology that could ultimately be incorporated into a handheld device that could rapidly diagnose skin cancer without a scalpel in sight.
