AI helps to improve radiologist performance.

In a multicenter study, radiologists had better performance with deep convolutional network software for the detection of malignant pulmonary nodules on chest radiographs than without. Deep Convolutional Neural Network-based Software Improves Radiologist Detection of Malignant Lung Nodules on Chest Radiographs....

How To Kill Ideas: We were asked last week by the Disruptive Innovators Network, 'How long should you spend on an idea?' "In the early days of Bromford Lab we had a 12 WEEKS MAX rule. If we couldn’t get an idea up and running within that time – it should be killed. We soon realised the error of our...

Could deep learning AI be used to screen TIA clinic referral letters? Possibly.

blog post image Could deep learning AI be used to screen TIA clinic referral letters? Possibly. Stroke prevention clinics (TIA or Transient Ischaemic Attack) clinics are an important aspect of urgent care. A TIA is a risk factor for future stroke. Medical treatment needs to be started quickly and surgical options, if...
