"AI-based differential diagnosis of dementia etiologies on multimodal data” @MGHImaging researchers and colleagues published a study in Nature Medicine where they present an AI model designed for the differential diagnosis of dementia.

Key Highlights: The model demonstrated a micro-averaged AUROC of 0.96 in differentiating dementia etiologies and a mean AUROC of 0.78 for mixed dementia cases. AI-augmented assessments outperformed neurologist-only evaluations by 26.25%, showcasing the potential to...

...significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy. The model's predictions align with biomarker evidence and postmortem findings, reinforcing its reliability and clinical applicability. Link to paper:

RT @SusannaLeeRad: With Radiology Advances @RSNA Board has chosen to step into the next phase of medical publishing. Getting it up and running should be an interesting few years. Stay with us for the ride! @jsklein1 @MGHImaging

The RSNA Board of Directors announced today that Susanna I. Lee, MD, PhD, has been selected as editor of Radiology Advances, RSNA’s first exclusively open-access journal. @SusannaLeeRad

Reports of a 'new invisible light' in the early days of 1896 sparked a kind of #XRAY fever in Boston, ultimately leading to the introduction of X-ray imaging at MGH and the founding of the MGH Department of Radiology @MGH_RI @MassGeneralNews
