Julianna Czum talks AI chest radiograph study with AuntMinnie.com
Researchers from the University of Ulsan in Seoul, South Korea recently developed and tested a deep-learning algorithm that was successful in a study of over 3.3 million chest radiographs. The team reported that the algorithm could successfully triage pairs of chest radiographs showing no change while detecting urgent interval changes during longitudinal follow-up. Julianna Czum, MD, from Johns Hopkins University wrote an editorial accompanying the study. She spoke with AuntMinnie.com to discuss its implications, how such a method could help mitigate burnout for emergency radiologists, and how AI continues its movement...

International Day of Radiology to be held on November 8
On November 8, radiologists, radiographers, and radiological technologists will mark the tenth International Day of Radiology (IDoR 2023).
The event aims to build " greater awareness of the value that radiology contributes to safe patient care, and improving understanding of the vital role radiologists and radiological technologists play in the healthcare continuum," the IDoR committee said. The committee includes the following organizations:The European Society of Radiology (ESR)The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)The American College of Radiology (ACR)The International Society of Radiology (ISR)The Asian Oce...

What Are the Common Types of Craniosynostosis?
Discussion
Usually when an infant is born the fontanelles and sutures remain open allowing the cranial bones the ability to move and undergo molding. This assists in delivery and molding from delivery usually resolves within hours to a few days.
Positional plagiocephaly (also called deformational plagiocephaly) usually occurs after birth (usually in the first few weeks) due to mechanical factors including positioning of the infant’s head such that little repositioning occurs (i.e. bottle feeding only on same side, placement in crib on same side, placement always on infant’s back with no prone placement, etc.)...

AI model predicts scoliosis spinal curve progression
This study utilized a modified version of the CapsuleNet model to create an AI model that predicts in-brace AIS progression risk with a high sensitivity level at 90%,” the researchers wrote.As immediate next steps, the authors noted that more patients with AIS need to be prospectively recruited to generate a larger and complete dataset involving the accurate recording of at least the conventionally acknowledged risk factors for AIS progression and skeletal maturity indicators, along with the x-rays.“With a more comprehensive dataset, the feasibility of this automated multidimensional approach in predicting AIS progress...

Team calls for'village' approach for tackling breast cancer inequities
It takes a village to eliminate breast cancer disparities, according to commentary published November 1 in Population Health Management.
A team led by Scott Siegel, PhD, from the ChristianaCare Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute in Delaware wrote a call to action for community members, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders to collaborate in tackling breast cancer disparities.
“A more targeted approach to prevention could make an outsized impact on reducing the overall burden of breast cancer while also narrowing racial disparities,” Siegel told AuntMinnie.com.
While Black and white women are ...

Effects of premolar extraction and orthodontic treatment in adolescents - a retrospective cephalometric study
Conclusions:
Our findings suggest that extraction therapy affects dentoalveolar
traits but not jaw position, nor the risk of root resorption, in
patients treated with fixed appliances. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)

Minnies winners for 2023 highlight AI, innovation in radiology
Each year, the Minnies award winners reflect the current challenges, issues, and advances in radiology. And 2023 is no exception.Notably, AI was even more prevalent this year among the Minnies winners than in the past. The technology figured prominently in five Minnies categories, including Hottest Clinical Procedure. And for the first time since 2018, physician burnout did not win the Minnies award for Biggest Threat to Radiology. Workforce shortages were deemed by our Expert Panel to be the biggest threat in 2023.In addition to a few previous winners adding to their Minnies trophy collection, several of this year's winne...

AI may boost arthroplasty imaging research
In this study, the group hypothesized that a deep learning AI model could efficiently and accurately classify shoulder x-rays according to important featuresThe researchers included 2,303 x-rays from 1,724 shoulder arthroplasty patients, with two observers manually labeling all x-rays according to three features:The laterality of the shoulder (left or right)The x-ray view (anterior-posterior, axillary, or scapular Y-view)Whether the image had no implant (preoperative), an anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA), or a reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA)All of the labeled x-rays were randomly split into development and t...

U.K. radiography students beset with ‘impostor phenomenon’
This study's findings suggest this occurs before radiography students' second years, and they may benefit from it in their first year before clinical placements. The literature suggests that this does not need to be extensive training and can be done in a one-off workshop provided the information presented is accurate,” the researchers concluded.The full article is available here.

AI model shows promise for interpreting follow-up chest x ‑rays
A group in Seoul, Korea, has developed an AI model that could help reduce radiology workflows by identifying “no changes” in follow-up chest x-rays of patients in critical care, according to a study published October 24 in Radiology.In a test set of 533 pairs of patient x-rays (baseline and follow-up), the algorithm was highly accurate when interpreting those that showed no changes, wrote first authors Jihye Yun, PhD, Yura Ahn, MD, of the University of Ulsan, and colleagues.“Radiologists routinely compare the current and previous chest radiographs during interpretation to enhance the sensitivity for change detection ...

How cardiac interventional radiographers promote better patient outcomes
Chris Schmidt.Cardiac interventional (CI) radiographers play a vital role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients during their procedure in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. They are skilled healthcare professionals who specialize in using imaging technology and minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat various cardiac and vascular conditions. CI radiographers work closely with radiologists, vascular surgeons, and interventional cardiologists to perform procedures such as angioplasty, stent placement, heart perfusion studies, and more. These procedures are often used to open blocked blood vessels, repair...
