Breast cancer Ki-67 expression prediction by digital breast tomosynthesis radiomics features

Despite the encouraging results, more studies are needed in order to further evaluate these preliminary findings and to find to what extent radiomics and AI approaches can be integrated in clinical practice in a useful and reliable strategy [1]. I think that several issues reduce the application of radiomics approaches in clinical practice: the lack of knowledge of its basic

Algorithms: All Set to Shape Tomorrow’s Medicine

Across all medical disciplines, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning will transform medicine beyond most people’s imaginations. Algorithms that help evaluate radiological images are just the beginning. AI could become an indispensable tool across all branches of medicine. From virtual assistants in the living room to intelligent investment algorithms and from software-based traffic control to autonomous driving, there is no

Looking outside the box: AI learns to play chess through language, the NHS invests in AI, and tools for sign language recognition

This week in artificial intelligence (AI) news, we take a look at a programme that learns chess through listening to real match commentary, the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) making big investments in AI, and the development of AI tools for reading sign language. Researchers at University College London have proposed a new algorithm, which allows the programme to learn

Why radiomics research does not translate to clinical practice: evaluation of literature using RQS and TRIPOD

Over the last few years, the number of studies published using quantitative imaging biomarkers to classify or predict pathologies has steadily increased. As of today, a quick PubMed search for radiomics, imaging biomarkers or radiogenomics reveals well over 4,000 articles. However, somewhat surprisingly, given this amount of published research, outside of academic literature there is no widespread clinical application of

The Not-So-Narrow Artificial Narrow Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and healthcare are converging in ways never imagined and the benefits to the healthcare system are only now being realized in full. When we think of AI in societal terms, the broad spectrum of artificial superintelligence is usually what comes to mind. Let’s get a better idea of the trajectory so we can understand the potential impacts
