Men, younger women with systemic sclerosis have lower bone mineral density vs controls
Patients with systemic sclerosis demonstrate lower bone mineral density compared with the general population, with significant differences reported in women aged younger than 45 years, according to data published in Rheumatology.
VIDEO: Radiographic parameters not correlated with function after distal radius fracture
Results presented at the American Society for Surgery of the Hand Annual Meeting showed radiographic parameters may not be associated with patient-reported function after nonoperative treatment of distal radius fractures.
Increased odds for acute respiratory disease with lung abnormality growth in smokers
The odds for severe acute respiratory disease events rose among previous/current smokers with evidence of quantitative interstitial abnormality, or QIA, progression on CT scans, according to results published in Radiology.
Chest radiograph interpretation sparks disagreement over pediatric ARDS diagnosis
Use of the 2015 Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Consensus Conference, or PALICC, criteria for diagnosing pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome mostly resulted in agreement between two physicians, according to results published in CHEST.
Chest X-ray AI analysis potentially predicts ASCVD risk for patients with missing EMR data
Artificial intelligence analysis of a single chest radiograph may predict 10-year CVD risk beyond the traditional atherosclerotic CVD risk calculator, even among individuals with missing electronic medical record data, researchers reported.
Artificial intelligence improves detection during chest X-ray interpretation
Assistance from artificial intelligence enhanced nonradiologists’ ability to detect lung lesions on chest radiographs, according to study results published in Annals of the American Thoracic Society.
AI model predicts joint damage in RA; only meant to complement, ‘not replace the human’
SAN DIEGO — An automated deep learning model accurately identified and predicted joint space narrowing and erosion based on hand radiographs of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, according to data presented at ACR Convergence 2023.
AI tools result in more false-positive findings on chest X-rays vs. radiologists
Radiologists had a lower rate of false positives when detecting airspace disease, pneumothorax and pleural effusion on chest X-rays compared with artificial intelligence tools, according to results published in Radiology.
