Cutting edge: West Cancer Center begins clinical trial using new AI imaging tech
West Cancer Center became the first site to perform a patient procedure using a new imaging tool that helps surgeons get clearer margins during breast conservation surgery.
The procedure, performed in December by Dr. Richard Fine and Dr. Michael Berry, is part of a multi-center clinical trial that will test the effectiveness of an imaging device paired with artificial intelligence (AI).
The imaging device, the Perimeter B-Series OCT with ImgAssist AI, provides real- time, ultra-high-resolution images… (Source: bizjournals.com Health Care:Physician Practices headlines)

She motions me in and reseats herself at a makeshift home office desk in her living room, sandwiched between a grand piano and set of enormous windows overlooking her front yard’s flower garden. It’s her remote base of operations when she’s not seeing patients or operating at the hospita...

Almost Every Doctor Recommends Sunscreen. So Why Don ’t We Know More About Its Safety?
Each year, as Memorial Day approaches, Holly Thaggard braces herself for the headlines. About how sunscreen may be damaging coral reefs. About the possible flammability of spray-on sunscreen. Headlines—as there were this year—about how sunscreen contains chemicals that could harm your health.
