Global Perspectives on the Utility of AI for Lung Cancer Screening

23 hours ago | auntminnieeurope.com | Philip Ward |Cynthia E. Keen |Amerigo Allegretto |Erik L. Ridley

Through a live proof of concept, our expert speakers will walk you through real-world applications, highlight key implementation strategies, and discuss the practical challenges that healthcare professionals face in adopting these technologies. The session will also explore what AI must deliverâ€”accuracy, efficiency, and clinical relevanceâ€” to truly enhance screening outcomes.
Could radiation therapy for breast cancer lower Alzheimer's risk?

1 week ago | buff.ly | Amerigo Allegretto |Erik L. Ridley

Cancer treatments such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy may lead to a lower risk of Alzheimerâ€™s disease in breast cancer survivors, suggest findings published June 20 in JAMA Network Open. Breast cancer survivors had an 8% lower risk of Alzheimerâ€™s disease compared with age-matched women without breast cancer, wrote a team led by Su-Min Jeong, MD, from Seoul National University in South Korea.
Removing patient fees for DBT improves utilization, but inequity remains

An MRI deep-learning algorithm can help quantify neurotoxicity in patients having a significant complication after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, according to a presentation at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting in Chicago.
Week in Review: AI and radiologist liability | PET and alcohol abuse | SalaryScan

If a radiologist missed a key finding but AI software didn’t, how would a jury determine legal culpability? Researchers from Brown University recently explored that question and came up with some interesting findings. After surveying hundreds of jurors, the study team concluded that although that scenario would negatively affect the defense, the effect could be substantially mitigated by providing the panel with data on the algorithm’s error rates.
Clairity deploys AI for breast cancer risk prediction

3 weeks ago | auntminnie.com | Erik L. Ridley

Imaging AI startup Clairity has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) de novo authorization for Clarity Breast, an AI-based software platform designed to predict a woman’s future breast cancer from a screening mammogram. Unlike computer-aided detection or computer-aided diagnosis software, Clairity Breast is not meant to be included in the radiologist’s interpretation process.
