AI Virtual Trials: Transforming Breast Cancer Drug Testing
Introduction Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide. In 2020, over 2.3 million new cases were diagnosed globally. Finding effective treatments quickly is crucial for saving lives. Normally, clinical trials, where new drugs are tested on human volunteers, can take years and are very expensive. But what if we could…
AI-Powered Virtual Second Readers for Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Introduction Breast cancer is a significant health issue affecting millions of women worldwide. Accurate diagnosis and treatment are crucial for better outcomes. However, an increasing number of patients actively seek second opinions to confirm their diagnosis and ensure they receive the most accurate and effective treatment plans. This is where artificial intelligence (AI) becomes pivotal….
How AI Revolutionizes Breast MRI for Cancer Detection
Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancers affecting women worldwide. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment and better outcomes. Traditional screening methods like mammography have limitations, often missing early-stage cancers, particularly in women with dense breast tissue. However, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is revolutionizing…
Harnessing AI and Resting-State fMRI to Predict Brain Surgery Outcomes
Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making significant strides in healthcare, particularly in predicting outcomes for brain surgery in patients with high-grade gliomas. A recent study led by Patrick Luckett, PhD, at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO, has demonstrated how combining machine-learning algorithms with resting-state functional MRI (fMRI) can provide highly accurate…
Decoding Radiology: Simplifying Radiology Report Impressions using LLMs
According to a recent study published in Radiology on March 26, Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promising results in simplifying radiology report impressions, thus making them more comprehensible for patients. The research, conducted by a team from Yale University led by Rushabh Doshi, involved analyzing 750 radiology reports. The team tested four different LLMs,…
