The integration of artificial intelligence into radiology PACS and enterprise imaging systems has become a big topic of discussion with IT vendors over the past couple years. This has become a bigger question from hospitals and radiology groups as there are now about 400 radiology related AI algorithms that have U.S. Food and Drug Administration...

Here is a list of some key trends in radiology technology from the editors of Health Imaging and Radiology Business that clinicians should be aware of heading into 2023.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many radiologists discovered hospital-based reading environments could be downright inhospitable to productivity goals as well as lifestyle preferences. More than a few found they could read up to twice as many exams and ably enough manage domestic duties working from home.

An imaging industry supplier best known for a widely adopted radiology reporting platform is partnering on radiological artificial intelligence with a company that pioneered GPUs and accelerated computing.Together the companies are aiming to put AI-based diagnostic tools “directly into the hands of radiologists and other clinicians at scale, enabling the delivery of improved patient care...

Clark State College’s Diagnostic Medical Sonography — Obstetrics and Gynecology program has been awarded initial accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP). Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS), which is the non-invasive use of high frequency sound waves to image anatomic structures within the body, is an abdominal, obstetrics, gynecology and vascular...

The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) grants went towards 11 projects including a new breakthrough test that will screen genetic mutations, a world-first genomics platform for Indigenous Australians and an international trial examining cardiac arrest interventions.

An experimental drug has slowed the rate of decline in memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer’s disease in what is being described as a “historic moment” for dementia treatment.

In a first for Australian health services, children aged one to six are being sought to participate in trials for medication to treat a viral-induced wheeze. Albury Wodonga Health director of paediatrics Dr Mark Norden, said the trial was “ground-breaking” and would help prevent future hospitalisations.

During the past several decades, health care systems have amassed giant stores of patient data through electronic health records, logging, disease-linked genetic aberrations, drug interactions, success rates of cancer therapies and more. Now, doctors and researchers with access to this trove of health information are at an inflection point. Through artificial intelligence, health systems have...

If the concept of a maternal-assisted caesarean – when the birthing mother reaches her gloved hands down to lift her baby out of her abdomen and on to her chest – is news to you, and perhaps slightly shocking, it shouldn’t be.
