Despite industry promises, artificial intelligence may not transform radiology until the 2030s, two Stanford University AI experts predicted recently. Andrew Ng—founder of Google Brain and an adjunct professor with the California school—said his research team typically trains algorithms in Stanford’s…
Imaging experts have developed a novel quality metric to address poor positioning in mammography, which can subject patients to unnecessary discomfort and potentially keep them from returning for future scans. To do so, U.K. researchers compiled a list of 15…
As radiology practices work to build diverse teams, leaders must ensure they’re taking potential steps to mitigate unconscious bias in their hiring decisions, experts charged recently in JACR. Examples of this phenomenon could include failing to target enough candidates from diverse…
