New imaging tool helps researchers see extent of Alzheimer’s early damage

New imaging technology allows scientists to see the widespread loss of brain synapses in early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, a finding that one day may help aid in drug development, according to a new Yale University study. The research, published May 13 in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, compared the density […]

Penn Medicine, Intel developing new AI approach to detecting brain tumors

Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania is working with Intel to advance a new distributed machine learning technique – one that allows for researchers at disparate organizations around the world to work together to develop new deep learning initiatives without having to share data. WHY IT MATTERS That approach, which aims for […]

Nuance to debut new AI-powered systems for imaging at HIMSS20

At HIMSS20 next month, Nuance Communications, an AI-based clinician information systems vendor, will introduce new systems to the Nuance AI Marketplace for Diagnostic Imaging designed to provide a one-stop shop for radiologists to review and purchase AI models to improve their workflow. The AI Marketplace is similar to the idea of an app store – […]

Both simple and advanced imaging can predict best stroke patients for thrombectomy

Both simple and advanced computed tomography (CT) were effective in accurately predicting which stroke patients would benefit from endovascular thrombectomy to remove a large cerebral clot, but together they were even better, reported researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth). Results of the multicenter study, Optimizing Patient Selection for Endovascular […]
