Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as an effective and promising tool in the field of medicine. With improved medical data labeling methods, and enhanced AI-enabled systems, massive amounts of data can be processed quickly, trends can be analyzed, and diseases can be detected and…
The researchers have devised a computational analysis method to detect and distinguish the functional impacts of somatic structural variations. Cancer is a complex and diverse disease, and its range of associated mutations is vast. The combination of these genomic changes in an…
Background FAST may contribute to quicker access to surgical treatment, shorter stays in the hospital, and lower out-of-pocket expenses. Using prehospital FAST was linked to changes in hospitalization in 22% of patients in a 2005 survey. The FAST evaluation is regarded as…
Artificial intelligence may serve as a useful tool for mitigating radiologist bias when interpreting images, according to a new study published in Scientific Reports [1]. CT has value in helping physicians assess patients suffering from COVID-19 (though some have criticized this practice). Quantification of pneumonia, in…
Described simply, artificial intelligence (AI) is a field that combines computer science and robust data sets, to enable problem-solving. The umbrella term encompasses the subfields of machine learning and the more recently developed deep learning, which itself is a subfield of machine…
The potential for artificial intelligence to transform health care is huge, but there’s a big catch. AI algorithms will need vast amounts of medical data on which to train before machine learning can deliver powerful new ways to spot and understand the cause of disease. That…
Next-generation cancer strategies rely on next-generation gene sequencing (NGS), which paves the way for new techniques and tools to detect mutations and determine patient therapy. A team of Chinese researchers proposed a more effective strategy to filter false positive results, which improves…
An artificial intelligence tool that scans eyes can accurately predict a person’s risk of heart disease in less than a minute, researchers say. The breakthrough could enable ophthalmologists and other health workers to carry out cardiovascular screening on the high street using…
For the past several decades, psychedelics have been widely stigmatized as dangerous illegal drugs. But a recent surge of academic research into their use to treat psychiatric conditions is spurring a recent shift in public opinion. Psychedelics are psychotropic drugs: substances that affect your mental…
1. A model combining artificial intelligence-enabled analysis of retinal vascular images from a large database with several traditional risk factors performed comparably to Framingham risk scores in predicting stroke and myocardial infarction (MI) risk. 2. Addition of retinal vascular scores to Framingham…
