AI can speed up precise detection of one of the key signs of Alzheimer’s disease, according to researchers from University of California Davis and UC San Francisco, who published a study on their machine learning tool in Nature Communications.

Civica Rx, a not-for-profit drug company startup that aims to provide more affordable drugs, inked a new deal to distribute antibiotics with Xellia Pharmaceuticals, a specialty pharmaceutical company based in Copenhagen that develops, manufactures and commercializes anti-infective treatments.

Radiology, the medical specialty into which AI has made the furthest initial inroads in the U.S., is embracing the technology in France. And this is so despite French radiologists feeling underinformed on AI up to now.

Some are calling the first generation whose members will never have known life without smartphones “Generation Alpha.” And some are predicting they’ll be as reliant on AI as Millennials and Generation Z have been on the internet.

The simultaneous advances of deep learning and radiomics may soon yield a single unified framework for clinical decision support that has the potential to “completely revolutionize the field of precision medicine.”

The FDA has given 510(k) clearance to an AI alert for urgent finding of a collapsed lung in chest X-rays. The approval is a first for an AI-based chest X-ray solution that can help doctors make quicker diagnoses from one of the world’s most used imaging modalities.

AI can predict death or heart attack better than humans, according to a new study presented at the International Conference on Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac CT (ICNC) in Lisbon.

Researchers at Duke and in Tanzania have developed an algorithm for discerning the extent of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a low-resource setting.
