The Center for Intelligent Imaging (Ci2) is focused on applications of artificial intelligence and image analysis tools in medical imaging.
A text-only AI alert can prompt more scrutiny than an annotated thumbnail. In a new review, @ucsfci2.bsky.social's @alitejanimd.bsky.social, @shadowdoc.bsky.social, @drdremdphd.bsky.social, @monganmd.bsky.social & collaborators examine how presentation shapes automation bias. bit.ly/4fgrbT1
Generating quantitative biomarkers from MRI typically requires experts to manually delineate structures across hundreds of slices. @ucsfci2.bsky.social researchers published a new approach in npj Digital Medicine that automates that process across five anatomies. bit.ly/4fENWRM
3 DICOM formats carry AI results to radiologists, from static overlays to editable structured reports. @ucsfci2.bsky.social's @alitejanimd.bsky.social, @shadowdoc.bsky.social, @drdremdphd.bsky.social, @monganmd.bsky.social & collaborators break down what each format allows. bit.ly/4fgrbT1

What predicts poor cardiac MRI quality before imaging begins? @ucsfci2.bsky.social's Dr. Jae Ho Sohn & collaborators found two independent factors: cognitive/communication impairment & respiratory compromise. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Current meningioma measurement relies on 2D slices & manual diameter checks. @ucsfci2.bsky.social's Pierre Nedelec & Dr. @drdremdphd.bsky.social developed a volumetric #AI tool that tracks tumor changes longitudinally, with confidence intervals built in. bit.ly/4f32JWC
Poor cardiac MRI quality means repeat scans & delayed decisions. @ucsfci2.bsky.social's Dr. Jae Ho Sohn & collaborators used an LLM to identify pre-imaging factors linked to poor image quality: cognitive/communication impairment & respiratory compromise. bit.ly/4aiI9hJ
Meningiomas grow slowly, making subtle changes easy to miss. @ucsfci2.bsky.social's Pierre Nedelec & Dr. @drdremdphd.bsky.social built a "one-click" AI tool for 3D volumetric tumor tracking across time. Radiologists can now see growth trends immediately after MRI export. bit.ly/4f32JWC
Bunkerhill Health is building foundation models for radiology, & two of the people behind that work are joining us to share what they've learned. Join us for the upcoming SRG Pillar Meeting to hear more from Abhijeet Shenoi & George Hu. bit.ly/4tM79EZ
If you're curious about what it actually takes to build & deploy foundation models in radiology, join us for the upcoming SRG Pillar meeting. Abhijeet Shenoi & George Hu from Bunkerhill Health will talk through that process on June 8. bit.ly/4tM79EZ
