AI tool needs more diverse skin types in datasets
A dermatology algorithm powered by artificial intelligence (AI) that can identify a range of skin conditions doesn't work effectively on black skin, according to researchers in Uganda and Sweden. The study highlights the potential risks of AI-based healthcare and the need to ensure diversity in datasets used to train algorithms.

MRI reveals molecular composition of the brain
Researchers from Israel have developed a model that compares the water content of the brain with measures of physical properties obtained from MRI scans to calculate the molecular composition of lipids in the brain. The technique may help detect changes in the biological makeup of the brain over time and identify key changes associated with diseases like Alzheimer's.

Right breast, 10 o’clock position, same patient: A 15 mm irregular hypoechoic solid lesion with suspicious morphology, situated approximately 6 mm from the index lesion. Biopsy confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma, Grade 2, ER positive, PR positive, HER2 positive, concordant with ultrasound features. Findings are in keeping with multifocal invasive ductal carcinoma in a heterogeneously dense breast. The patient was referred for surgical management.
Italian team seeks to optimize imaging of pelvic floor dysfunction
By Maryam Payne
MRI defecography can provide more complete information and limit challenges that make pelvic floor dysfunction difficult to diagnose, researchers from Palermo have found.

Sagittal T2-weighted MRD image at maximal pelvic floor contraction (squeeze). The pubococcygeal line (PCL) serves as a reference line extending from the inferior border of the pubic symphysis to the last coccygeal joint. The H line represents the anteroposterior dimension of the levator hiatus, while the M line measures the perpendicular descent of the levator plate relative to the PCL. The midpubic line (MPL) provides an additional reference for anterior-posterior alignment. Identifiable pelvic structures include the pubic symphysis (Ps), rectum (R), and bladder (B).
