Deep learning model improves radiologist diagnostic performance in colon cancer screening
A study by the Technical University of Munich researchers evaluated the use of a deep learning algorithm to differentiate between colon cancer and acute diverticulitis on CT images and its impact on radiologists’ performance. The 3-D convolutional neural network reached a sensitivity of 83.3% and specificity of 86.6% compared to the average reader sensitivity of…

Early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease using artificial intelligence
According to a study published in the journal of radiology, research shows that artificial intelligence (AI) technology predict the development of Alzheimer’s disease early. Early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s is important as treatments and interventions are more effective early in the course of the disease. However, early diagnosis has proven to be challenging. Research has linked the…

Computer based model InFlo predicts cell signals and network activity
A multi-institution academic-industrial partnership of researchers led by Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine has developed a new method to broadly assess cell communication networks and identify disease-specific network anomalies. The computer-based method, called InFlo, was developed in collaboration with researchers at Philips and Princeton University and predicts how cells send signals across networks…

Researchers use multi-task deep neural networks to automatically extract data from cancer pathology reports
Despite steady progress in detection and treatment in recent decades, cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United States, cutting short the lives of approximately 500,000 people each year. To better understand and combat this disease, medical researchers rely on cancer registry programs–a national network of organizations that systematically collect demographic and…

Novel diagnostic test for malaria using holographic imaging and artificial intelligence using deep learning
Duke researchers have devised a computerized method to autonomously and quickly diagnose malaria with clinically relevant accuracy — a crucial step to successfully treating the disease and halting its spread. In 2015 alone, malaria infected 214 million people worldwide, killing an estimated 438,000. While Western medicine can spot malaria with near-perfect accuracy, it can be…
