@MGHImaging radiologists recently published a new study: Reproducibility and Repeatability of US Shear-Wave and Transient Elastography in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease | Radiology pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/ra…

...significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy. The model's predictions align with biomarker evidence and postmortem findings, reinforcing its reliability and clinical applicability. Link to paper: nature.com/articles/s4159…

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...

"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.
