Large language models (LLM) show promise in detecting hospital patients at risk of committing suicide. This could help warn medical staff in time while maintaining the patients' privacy.
Precise segmentation of anatomical structures greatly benefits cancer diagnosis. Using AI and deep learning methods, researchers are developing a high-precision 3D viewer software for medical image data.
To advance the transition of AI from research to clinical application, Nvidia announced that Siemens Healthineers has adopted MONAI, an open-source medical imaging framework.
Detection of patient falls, unauthorized intrusions on hospital premises, and more: A new suite of AI tools is designed to enhance healthcare security and patient safety surveillance.
In the world of theatre, the ‘deus ex machina’, the god from the machine, is a dramaturgical trick to resolve seemingly unsolvable conflicts. Can artificial intelligence (AI) also be such a universal problem solver for internal medicine? At the Annual Congress of the German Society of Internal Medicine (DGIM), Dr Isabella Wiest explored the potential – and limitations – of AI helpers.
US researchers have developed a comprehensive deep learning AI model designed to more accurately identify and classify cells in high-content tissue images.
The current rise in antibiotic resistance is once again sparking interest in phage therapy. Now, scientists developed a new tool that recommends the best possible phage cocktail for a given patient.
New research has shown that using artificial intelligence (AI) can improve how urinary tract infections (UTIs) are treated, and help to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Large language models (LLMs) have potential in healthcare settings to help support both patients and clinicians. Cardiologist Dr Robert van der Boon believes they could have several applications, including patient communication and education, clinical decision support and administrative tasks. Delegates to ESC 2024 in London heard roles explored for LLMs in areas of clinical decision-making,…
Future-oriented large-scale investments on the one hand, political unrest on the other: The presentation of award-winning medical technology from Taiwan at Medica in Düsseldorf reflected a year full of changes and challenges. The prize-winning solutions for surgery, intensive care medicine, traumatology and endoscopy once again attracted a large professional audience.
When an AI advisor points out an area of concern in a chest X-ray, radiologists are sometimes all too eager to follow their lead, a new study finds. This may lead to incorrect diagnostic decisions.
Karolinska University Hospital is among the most transparent hospitals worldwide. Using AI, the hospital can accurately demonstrate where lives have been saved, and harm avoided for patients.
A new study investigating the impact of AI in healthcare shows that using LLMs to process thousands of patient records daily across multiple hospitals could lead to substantial resource consumption.
The journey of a baby through the birth canal can be fraught with obstacles and risks. A new AI-based tool to evaluate the head position of the baby could lead to fewer childbirth complications.
Royal Philips announced a major advance in radiation oncology with 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its new detector-based spectral CT radiotherapy solution.
PET/CT image analysis using artificial intelligence (AI) can predict the occurrence of interstitial lung disease, a serious side effect of immunotherapy in lung cancer, a new study shows.
Swift Medical, a pioneer in digital wound care, has unveiled its new Skin & Wound 2 platform.
Radiology AI products are a whole new world. So is running them safely and efficiently in production. At the 2024 Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) Annual Meeting, an expert outlined how new skills and resources are needed to use these AI tools – and how PACS administrators could evolve their position to fit this important role.
How can innovations help to master challenges and demands in healthcare? This central question will be addressed at the Medica Health IT Forum, an established part of the programme at the trade fair.
UK scientists are harnessing the power of AI to assess the antimicrobial resistance of patients in intensive care units (ICUs) and identify sepsis-causing bloodstream infections.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) remains a divisive topic within the discipline of pathology with a range of opinions over its current value and applicability in clinical settings. While most experts agree that the technology will not replace pathologists, it might still spell bad news for those who do not embrace AI in their daily practice. On the other hand, reservations persist about whether…
Early detection is crucial for effective treatment of colorectal cancer, but the initial stages are easily missed during endoscopy screenings. With GI Genius, Medtronic presents an AI-powered tool to help detect precancerous lesions in real-time. In an upcoming large-scale trial, the intelligent endoscopy module will demonstrate its benefit in the clinical context.
Recent developments in deep learning techniques are enhancing clinical imaging quality and reducing radiation exposure for patients while also maintaining diagnostic accuracy. The latest AI (artificial intelligence) component to clinical imaging – referred to as deep learning reconstruction (DLR) – is having a particular benefit in paediatric imaging, according to Dr Samuel Brady from…
The year: 2034. Breast cancer patients benefit from perfectly personalised diagnostics and therapies. The tedium of follow-up treatments is a thing of the past, thanks to AI, augmented reality and robotics. Just a tale from the realm of science fiction, or could this soon be clinical reality?
