Machine-learning analysis of heart motion predicts survival

A machine-learning survival model based on 3D cardiac motion predicts outcomes beyond conventional risk factors in patients with pulmonary hypertension, according to a new study from the U.K. and Singapore. Semiautomated analysis of the cine MR images could potentially be used to guide patient management.

Deep learning boosts CT colonography outcomes

A new kind of electronic-cleansing algorithm can deliver reduced-prep CT colonography (CTC) to routine clinical practice, according to results from a multinational team of researchers. The group's technique for CTC outperformed two conventional methods, producing far fewer artifacts.

Machine learning improves FFR-CT for coronary ischemia

In results that could potentially shake up the heart imaging status quo, a machine learning algorithm slightly outperformed a more traditional algorithm in analyzing fractional flow reserve CT (FFR-CT) studies for detecting signs of ischemic coronary lesions, according to a presentation at the recent RSNA 2016 meeting in Chicago.

Vancouver lung cancer predictor works in NLST

A Canadian model for predicting lung cancer risk based on nodule and patient characteristics distinguished benign from malignant lung nodules in patients in the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), according to a study presented at RSNA 2016. A second study in the same session, however, found that radiologists slightly outperformed the model.

FFR-CT cuts time, costs in patients with chest pain

Belgian researchers said they have achieved remarkable reductions in costs, radiation dose, and -- most important -- negative angiography studies by implementing fractional flow reserve CT (FFR-CT) to manage the care of patients with chest pain who have an intermediate risk of coronary disease.
