Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance – new frontiers against cancer, but some way still to go

Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (DCE-MRI) is a functional imaging technique. It consists of MRI scans coupled to the injection of a contrast agent. The latter leads to a decrease in relaxation time and provides extremely detailed characteristics of the micro-circulation of blood through tissue. DCE-MRI assessments typically use the characteristics of signal intensity (SI) and […]

Imaging: the new frontier for clinical decision support

The clinical decision support (CDS) system is one of the most exciting areas of healthcare IT. It leverages state-of-the-art IT tools ranging from data-mining algorithms to complex neural networks, and seeks to address one of healthcare IT’s biggest challenges – Big Data. For its proponents, CDS is a means to standardize clinical practice with a […]

Anesthesiology and ultrasound today

Since the last decade, ultrasonography (US) has become an essential clinical tool in anesthesiology, intensive care and emergency medicine, improving both safety and patient comfort. US indeed allows an extremely wide use for both bedside examination and technical procedures in a way that was previously not possible. For example, this technology is useful for regional […]

Artificial intelligence and radiology – threat or tool ?

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 […]
