Deep learning–assisted prostate cancer detection on bi-parametric MRI: minimum training data size requirements and effect of prior knowledge

Prostate MRI can be a game-changer for many men with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA). For decades these many men underwent biopsies while never developing prostate cancer. Expert prostate MRI can help avoid these unnecessary biopsies and better target any biopsies. Unfortunately, reading prostate MRI is challenging and time-consuming. Like other medical imaging modalities, AI is explored for helping read prostate

Bridging the chasm: Education may turn Early Majority into Early Adopters

A while ago we came up with the idea to investigate the intersection between change management and artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology. We wanted to assess independent predictors for being a so-called ‘early adopter’, inspired by Roger’s Innovation Diffusion theory. An early adopter, coming right after the innovator, is someone who wants to take a risk without getting an immediate

AI abstracts from ECR 2019: analysis of topics and compliance with the STARD for abstracts checklist

New machine learning techniques, especially deep neural networks, hold the promise of revolutionizing many aspects of radiology and have gained immense public and professional attention over the last few years. This has led to a sharp increase in publications, the founding of new journals, and FDA approval for new diagnostic algorithms. With this increased scientific output, we wanted to take

Can training data help radiologists to open deep learning black box?

Deep learning has recently pervaded the radiology field, reaching promising results that have encouraged both scientists and entrepreneurs to apply these models to improve patient care. However, “with great power there must also come — great responsibility” [1]! In most cases, the complexity of deep learning models forces their users, and sometimes also their developers, to treat them as black
