Over 55 million people live with dementia worldwide, and there are nearly 10 million new cases every year. An increasing amount of evidence also demonstrates that maintaining physical activity in midlife and beyond may help preserve cognitive capacity and prevent dementia.

Recently, researchers developed a new imaging method using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess placental health. They found that their new method could strongly predict pregnancy outcomes linked to placental insufficiency.

Healthcare is currently being revolutionised by artificial intelligence. With precise AI solutions, doctors can be supported in diagnosis. However, such algorithms require a considerable amount of data and the associated radiological specialist findings for training.

In patients undergoing echocardiographic evaluation of cardiac function, preliminary assessment by artificial intelligence (AI) is superior to initial sonographer assessment, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2022.

Multitasking is not just an office skill. It’s key to functioning as a human, and it involves something called cognitive flexibility – the ability to smoothly switch between mental processes. UNC scientists conducted a study to image the neural activity analogues to cognitive flexibility and discover differences in the brain activity of children with ADHD and those without.

Source: AI can help humans inspect chest X-rays for COVID-19, but the technology is unfit to serve as a standalone diagnostic tool for that purpose, according to a prospective observational study conducted at the University of Minnesota and published online June 1 in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence.

Source: St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney has entered into a multi-year collaboration with imaging solutions developer Sydney Neuroimaging Analysis Centre to co-develop and deploy novel AI diagnostics solutions. According to a media release, the partnership will bring together AI engineers, radiologists, imaging analysts, expert clinicians and data, utilising SNAC’s technology platform to drive large-scale deployment of...

Source: A robotic AI system has been developed by scientists that is capable of improving stem cell procedures that are utilized in regenerative medicine.  The development of the robotic AI system was carried out by a joint research group led by Genki Kanda at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR). The peer-reviewed research was published...
