AI assist for x-ray reads serves nonradiologists well in the ED
CHICAGO -- German researchers are testing ways to support nonradiologists in interpreting chest x-rays in emergency settings using an AI assistant.Presenting the research on November 28 at RSNA 2023, Jan Rudolph, MD, from the department of radiology at University Hospital LMU Munich said nonradiologists can significantly benefit from AI assistance in emergency-related chest x-ray analysis.“If you go to the periphery, to smaller hospitals in the periphery, there's basically the duty doctors from internal medicine or surgery departments that have to analyze the chest x-rays,” Rudolph explained. “So we were thinking and...

Stanford Researchers Discover Junk DNA Affects Gene Expression
Research findings could lead to new biomarkers for genetic tests and give clinical laboratories new capabilities to diagnose different health conditions New insights continue to emerge about “junk DNA” (aka, non-coding DNA). For pathologists and clinical laboratories, these discoveries may have value and eventually lead to new biomarkers for genetic testing. One recent example comes […]

Midlife belly fat linked to increased Alzheimer's risk
People with higher amounts of visceral abdominal fat in midlife may be at increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, according to research to be presented at the upcoming RSNA meeting.This type of adipose tissue -- which surrounds internal organs deep in the belly -- is linked to changes in the brain up to 15 years before the earliest Alzheimer's symptoms appear, reported a team led by Mahsa Dolatshahi, MD, of Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis."[Our] findings prompt designing interventions targeted at reducing abdominal visceral fat, obesity, and insulin resistance in ...

In Early Weeks of Flu Season, COVID-19 Patients Show Milder Symptoms as SARS-CoV-2 Continues to Evolve
Doctors report difficulty differentiating COVID-19 from other viral infections, impacting clinical laboratory test orders Because the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is in the same family of viruses that cause the common cold and influenza, virologists expected this virus—which caused the global COVID-19 pandemic—would evolve and mutate into a milder form of infection. Early evidence from this influenza […]
