3 Reasons Why Radiologists do not Need to fear AI and Deep Learning
Deep learning has achieved a certain level of success over time. As a result, several questions are raised in the field of medicine with respect to automation of the several tasks undertaken by radiologists. In an editorial published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology, a radiologist and an author raised the question. […]
Perfusion MRI Shows CPAP Healing the Brains of Apnea Patients
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, or CPAP, induces certain changes in the Mean Diffusivity (MD) and Fractional Anisotropy (FA) in the brain, which indicates microstructural changes. Both occur in language, sensory-motor functions, and cognition. CPAP treatment leads to brain perfusion, which increases cerebral blood flow (CBF) as well as cerebral blood volume (CBV). It is an […]
fMRI and Fetal Gender Brains
Male and female human brains tend to go in separate directions right from the womb. In a recent study published in the April edition of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, researchers have revealed that functional connectivity is different between sexes from the very early stages of neurodevelopment. Resting-state functional MRI or fMRI was used to image the […]
Why The Promise Of Electronic Health Records Has Gone Unfulfilled
The United States government had claimed that replacing paper medical charts with electronic ones would make health care safer, cheaper and much better. It has been a decade since these claims were made. After a decade and $36 billion of spending, the digital revolution seems to have fallen flat on its face. Kaiser Health News […]
Make Way for the Millennials-or Else
The new generation believes in endless opportunities offered by the digital world of mobile phones, hi-tech gadgets, and social media. Being the torchbearers of an ever-evolving digital world, they are probably more dependent on technology than any other generation. As a result, the directors of radiology residency programs are focusing on varied methods of training […]
Debate on AI Ethics
While Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an important turning point in radiology, the ethical aspects are debatable. The American College of Radiology (ACR) together with the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) and other imaging societies together published a draft document entailing the future of AI and its ethical uses. The European Society of Radiology, European Society of Medical Imaging Informatics, RSNA, American Association of Physicists in Medicine, and Canadian […]
Imaging Technique Provides Insight into Speech Development
Our speech development is affected by numerous factors, including the pathway of the brain. What we hear and derive affects individual language development significantly. A research team from New York University used different imaging techniques to determine the effect of the brain’s pathways and its contribution to speech development. Published on March 4, the research […]
