SPECT/CT algorithm predicts heart failure hospitalizations
This study represents the first evidence, to our knowledge, demonstrating that integrating SPECT MPI into an AI-based risk assessment algorithm significantly improves the prediction of hospitalizations due to [heart failure],” the group wrote. The research was published March 28 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.Heart failure is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and worldwide, with prevalence projected to increase by almost 50% from 2012 to 2030, the authors wrote. They noted that identifying patients who are at risk for heart failure exacerbation can open opportunities for prevention strateg...

Large language models simplify radiology report impressions
Large language models (LLMs) can significantly simplify radiology report impressions, enhancing readability for patients, according to research published March 26 in Radiology.
In a study involving 750 radiology reports, a team of researchers from Yale University tested four different LLMs – including ChatGPT, Bard, and Bing -- and found that all four were able to significantly simplify report impressions. Model performance did differ, however, based on the wording of the prompt used.
“Our study highlights how radiology reports, which are complex medical documents that implement language and style above the college g...
