Dear Digital X-Ray Insider,
AI shows great potential as a triage tool for fracture detection, especially in high-demand environments like emergency departments. That’s the view of a group of authors from three leading university hospitals. To find out more about their research, go to today’s top story.
In another recent study, Dutch investigators found that orthopedic trauma surgeons and radiologists show strong agreement in assessing radiographs for extremity fractures. This analysis could pave the way to freeing up time for radiologists on these cases, they stated.
How are radiation dose management systems being used in clinical practice, and what implementation challenges do users face? The results of an EU survey have been published. Don’t miss our report.
We’ve also posted a timely article about large language models (LLMs). LLMs such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini can be exploited in several ways, such as malicious attacks, privacy breaches, and unauthorized manipulation of patient data, according to researchers from University Hospital Basel in Switzerland.
A U.K. coroner has reported that in the case of a 17-year-old amateur boxer, no information was recorded “in the notes on assessment” of the patient's two emergency x-ray exams, and the urgency of his situation was “underappreciated” at the hospital.
These articles are just a small selection of the material we’ve posted over recent weeks in the Digital X-Ray content area. Please check out the full list here.
