Artificial intelligence deep learning models can be trained to predict self-reported race from imaging results, raising concerns about worsening health disparities, according to a study published in The Lancet Digital Health.
Researchers found models could detect race from different types of chest imaging results, including X-rays, CT scans and mammograms. The ability couldn't be traced back to...
An artificial intelligence algorithm used to detect hip fractures outperformed human radiologists, but researchers found mistakes that would prevent safe use upon further testing, according to a study published in The Lancet.
Researchers evaluated a deep learning model that aimed to find proximal femoral fractures in frontal X-rays in emergency department patients, which was trained on data from...
Radiology artificial intelligence company Aidoc scored FDA 510(k) clearance for its tool for flagging and triaging cases of pneumothorax, or a collapsed lung, on X-rays.
Aidoc said the software could run on all X-rays, including portable machines, and automatically notes positive cases of pneumothorax so physicians can focus on these images more quickly.
Some of Aidoc's other FDA-cleared tools...
ORLANDO, Fla. – As artificial intelligence moves into more spaces in healthcare, organizations need to take action to ensure their algorithms aren't creating more bias, adding to significant health inequities.
It can be a daunting task. One way to start is to ensure people from under-represented backgrounds are at the table from the start, said Carolyn Sun, assistant professor at Hunter College...
