Study says AI could reduce breast cancer screening workload by nearly 40 percent
Diagnostic Imaging
Emerging research suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) may play a key role in reducing the breast cancer screening workload for radiologists.
In a retrospective study involving 4,310 women and a total of 5,182 digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) procedures, the authors found that utilization of an AI model to filter out normal DBT exams led to a 39.6 percent reduction in workload, similar sensitivity for detecting breast cancer (90.0 percent compared to 90.8 percent for radiologist-led screenings) and a 25 percent lower recall rate (6.9 percent compared to 9.2 percent for radiologists).

How optical imaging has transformed cancer and rapid diagnostics testing
Azooptics.com
Early diagnosis of cancer is linked with improved patient outcomes. People who receive a diagnosis at earlier stages are more likely to survive. They are also more likely to have better experiences of care, enhanced quality of life, and reduced treatment mobility in comparison with patients diagnosed at later stages.

Essential keys to improving safety and comfort in the MRI suite
Diagnostic Imaging
In contrast with other imaging modalities, MRI does not use ionizing radiation and is safe for patients and operators when used appropriately. To ensure patient and staff safety, health-care professionals must follow some important guidelines and invest in MRI technology that reduces patient anxiety. Accordingly, let us take a closer look at ways providers can enhance safety in the MRI room while boosting patient comfort and satisfaction during the MRI experience.
