A new study demonstrates how an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool can transform the workflow of a large radiology department. According to the paper, the tool “doubled efficiency” without impacting accuracy. The bespoke system successfully alerted staff to life threatening conditions prior to review by a radiologist. Researchers at Northwestern Medicine recently designed and deployed an AI system across the radiology departments of their 12-hospital system.

Alzheimer’s is characterized by a buildup of proteins in the brain, which disrupts their function. A new study in fruit flies shows that these proteins may also significantly impact the functioning of other organs. The researchers also identified mechanisms that might explain how proteins in the brain can have such wide-reaching effects. A new study in fruit flies concludes that proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease not only influence brain health, but also have effects further afield.
