Image analysis ideal for AI in ophthalmology
I wrote a perspective on the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in ophthalmology a year ago. The interested reader can find that March 25, 2022, perspective in the Healio/OSN archives.
AI system distinguishes UC remission, activity with up to 87% accuracy
A computer-aided diagnosis system successfully distinguished disease remission from activity and predicted the risk for subsequent flare among patients with ulcerative colitis, according to results published in Gastroenterology.
Virtual chest X-ray with phase-contrast imaging detects small-airway obstruction
Small-airway obstruction, which cannot be seen with conventional X-rays, was observed in a virtual chest X-ray enhanced by phase-contrast imaging, according to study results published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Advances in MRI, PET imaging crucial to improve diagnosis, prognosis of MS
SAN DIEGO — Advances in the ability to measure chronic, active inflammation in MS using MRI and positron emission tomography may improve disease diagnosis and prognosis, according to research presented at ACTRIMS 2023.
Automated nailfold analysis distinguishes systemic sclerosis from normal capillaries
A fully automated analysis of nailfold images was able to distinguish patients with systemic sclerosis from those with normal capillaries at least as well as human experts, according to data published in Rheumatology.
First patient enrolled in phase 1/2 study of hydroxyl dendrimer imaging agent
Ashvattha Therapeutics announced that the first patient has been enrolled in a phase 1/2 study to evaluate the ability of an imaging agent to cross the blood-brain barrier and target key markers of neuroinflammation.
Visionix launches next-generation OCT system with enhanced imaging, scan precision
Visionix USA has launched its new high-speed, multimodal Optovue Solix FullRange OCT system in North America, the company announced in a press release.
Mechanical ventilation strategy reduces atelectasis during bronchoscopy
Atelectasis occurred less frequently when patients received ventilation through an endotracheal tube than through a laryngeal mask airway during bronchoscopy, according to study results published in CHEST.
Imaging, disease classification among future applications for AI
KOLOA, Hawaii — Artificial intelligence has the potential to help ophthalmologists better perform clinical exams, as well as diagnose and classify disease, according to a speaker here.
Ultra-widefield imaging yields predictive data for diabetic retinopathy worsening
KOLOA, Hawaii — Ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography may enable more sensitive and specific methods to predict diabetic retinopathy worsening compared with standard FA, Paolo S. Silva, MD, said at Retina 2023.
