The role of generative adversarial networks in brain MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a widely used medical imaging technology that is non-intrusive and considered safe for humans and can generate different modalities of an image, as well as provide valuable insights into a specific disease. The frequent sequences of MRI are T1-weighted and T2- weighted scans. The popularity of artificial intelligence (AI) for brain MRI is on the

Artificial intelligence in medical imaging practice in Africa: a qualitative content analysis study of radiographers’ perspectives

The aim of this study was to qualitatively explore the perception of radiographers in relation to the integration and acceptance of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging practice on the continent of Africa. Participants of this study consisted solely of radiographers working in Africa between March and August 2020. The study demonstrated a positive outlook regarding AI in relation to

Deep learning workflow in radiology: how to get started

In the past decade, deep learning architectures, which essentially consist of neural networks with numerous layers, have emerged as a dominant class of machine learning algorithms. Owing to the availability of larger datasets in radiology and access to high-performance graphical processing units, deep learning has provided state-of-the-art performance for various computer vision tasks such as lesion detection, segmentation, classification, monitoring,

AI power is real but muzzled by lack of data sharing and standardization

AI adds a new dimension to brain and abdominal imaging in a number of clinical scenarios, but lack of data sharing as well as reproducibility and standardization issues must be addressed, top European radiologists explained during the ESR AI Premium event. Detecting the invisible and the visible In the brain, AI can help to detect things that are invisible to

Zooming in on AI-Based Image Interpretation

While the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology eases workflows, it may also lead to a better and more precise understanding of disease. Predicting the course of cancer from imaging data could become a part of the clinical routine in the next few years. Many experts believe that the increasing use of AI in radiology will fundamentally change the

European radiology needs AI luminaries

Medical imaging AI is progressing fast, boosted by an industrious community and technology advances. The market, however, is not big enough to support all the companies involved in the field and European radiologists still lack proper training, according to Simon Harris, principal analyst at Signify Research. What are the current market trends? The technology is starting to mature. It is

Medical imaging AI: the bubble will break in 2-3 years

The buzz around artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging has turned into a boom, which is turning into a bubble. When the bubble breaks, start-ups better have a solid sales strategy, according to leading Spanish researcher in quantification. Deepening gap between funding and profit Funding in start-ups who develop AI for medical imaging is increasingly moving away from actual value
