Purpose To compare the diagnostic performance of radiomic analysis (RA) and a convolutional neural network (CNN) to radiologists for classification contrast agent-enhancing lesions as benign or malignant at multiparametric breast MRI. Materials Methods Between August 2011 2015, 447 patients with 1294 enhancing (787 malignant, 507 benign; median size, 15 mm ± 20) were evaluated. Lesions manually segmented by one radiologist. RA was performed using L1 regularization principal component...
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) can predict the presence of molecular alterations directly from routine histopathology slides. However, training robust AI systems requires large datasets for which data collection faces practical, ethical and legal obstacles. These obstacles could be overcome with swarm learning (SL), in partners jointly train models while avoiding transfer monopolistic governance. Here, we demonstrate successful use SL large, multicentric gigapixel images over 5,000...
Abstract Recent advances in computer vision have shown promising results image generation. Diffusion probabilistic models generated realistic images from textual input, as demonstrated by DALL-E 2, Imagen, and Stable Diffusion. However, their use medicine, where imaging data typically comprises three-dimensional volumes, has not been systematically evaluated. Synthetic may play a crucial role privacy-preserving artificial intelligence can also be used to augment small datasets. We show that...
Deep learning (DL) can accelerate the prediction of prognostic biomarkers from routine pathology slides in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, current approaches rely on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and have mostly been validated small patient cohorts. Here, we develop a new transformer-based pipeline for end-to-end biomarker by combining pre-trained transformer encoder with network patch aggregation. Our approach substantially improves performance, generalizability, data efficiency,...

The European Union's recently adopted Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act is the first comprehensive legal framework specifically on AI. This particularly important for healthcare domain, as other existing harmonisation legislation, such Medical Device Regulation, do not explicitly cover medical AI applications. Given far-reaching impact of this regulation sector, commentary provides an overview key elements Act, with easy-to-follow references to relevant chapters.
