In spite of alarm bells that artificial intelligence (AI) would decimate the radiology profession, a host of barriers – both technical and regulatory – make this unlikely to happen for the foreseeable future. Instead, over the coming decade, AI is at best likely to help radiologists do their jobs more quickly and lead to improved […]
Ionizing radiation, from the sun and even the earth, is a daily fact of life. There is little that can be done about this, except to stay away from too much sunlight and protect the skin with sunscreens. On the other hand, people are also sometimes exposed to radiation for medical reasons – such as […]
Mobile health or mHealth has recently become one of the fastest growing and potentially disruptive segments of healthcare technology. Some typical mHealth segments include medication reminders, remote patient monitoring and wellness management. Key challenges faced by mHealth include data storage and management, network availability and maintenance, compatibility and interoperability. The single biggest issue however is […]
Digital tomosynthesis creates a three-dimensional (3-D) picture using X-rays. In this respect, tomosynthesis is close to a CT (computed tomography) scan. Nevertheless, there are differences between the two. In fact, the development of CT is considered to be one of the reasons for a decline in interest in tomosynthesis, until recently. One of the principal […]
Hospitals straddle a unique crossroads in terms of cybersecurity, crime and potentially, terror. In spite of a rapid shift to computerized prescriptions and electronic records, the hospital business is inherently complex, marked by privacy constraints as well as legacy IT infrastructure. In an era of cost cuts, hospital managers have also been tempted more by […]
Breast cancer is the most common female cancer globally, with one woman in eight in the West eventually developing the disease. However improved screening programmes allowing earlier detection and treatment have greatly contributed to the steadily decreasing breast cancer mortality observed from the 1980s on. Although alternative imaging modalities are available, the current gold standard […]
The medical device industry is continually improving diagnostic imaging systems in order to lower radiation dose without compromising image quality, and both company articles and studies by cardiologists published in peer-reviewed journals stress the benefits for patients. However, much less emphasis is given to radiation exposure of relevant healthcare workers, a problem that is particularly […]
