RSNA Debuts New Journal Focused on AI in Radiology

Posted on 20 Feb 2019

The Radiological Society of North America {(RSNA) Oak Brook, IL, USA} has published the first issue of its new online journal, Radiology: Artificial Intelligence. The new journal highlights the emerging applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of imaging across multiple disciplines.

The new journal invites high-quality manuscripts illustrating the use of AI to diagnose and manage patients, extract information, streamline radiology workflow, or improve healthcare outcomes. It also seeks thoughtful, meaningful reviews and opinion pieces focused on AI education and AI's role to educate radiologists, referring providers and patients, as well as other important issues in the specialty.

"We are extremely pleased with the quality of articles in the journal's first issue," said editor Charles E. Kahn Jr., M.D, M.S., professor and vice chairman of radiology at Perelman School of Medicine and senior fellow of the Institute for Biomedical Informatics and the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics at University of Pennsylvania. "These articles highlight the ways that AI can be applied to measurably improve healthcare. Our goal is to deliver the same high quality of original scientific research as our parent journal, Radiology, but focused on AI. In addition to original research, we welcome articles that explore the ethical, social, legal and economic implications of AI in radiology.”

Breast cancer screening aims to detect tumors before symptoms develop, but subtle mammographic changes can appear years before diagnosis and may be missed during routine reads. Delayed detection can lead... Read more

$Image: Kyushu University researchers use Dynamic Chest Radiography (DCR) to evaluate the severity of Pulmonary Regurgitation (PR), a common complication after treatment of the congenital heart disease Tetralogy of Fallot. The analysis only requires the patient to hold their breath for seven seconds for a sequence of images of their heart to be taken. The images are then analyzed and extracted into a waveform that can show the severity of PR. The new technique\\\'s detection accuracy of severe PR is 93%, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 94%. (Photo courtesty of Kyushu University/Yuzo Yamasaki)$
