Importance: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness among adults in the US. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends annual DR monitoring for all individuals with diabetes, yet monitoring rates remain below 70%.

Objective: To evaluate how patient preferences and expectations about DR monitoring are associated with expected monitoring adherence behaviors.

Objectives: This study investigated patients' acceptance of artificial intelligence (AI) for diagnosing prostate cancer (PCa) on MRI scans and the factors influencing their trust in AI diagnoses.

Materials And Methods: A prospective, multicenter study was conducted between January and November 2023. Patients undergoing prostate MRI were surveyed about their opinions on hypothetical AI assessment of their MRI scans.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the potential for improving the diagnostic accuracy of detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) on MRI by incorporating clinical parameters like prostate-specific antigen, prostate volume, and age into deep learning models.
  • A total of 932 biparametric MRI exams were analyzed, and various AI models were tested, combining MRI-based deep learning results with the clinical parameters through different methods of data fusion.
  • The results showed that the best model, which combined deep learning suspicion levels with clinical features, outperformed other models and had performance comparable to radiologist assessments in identifying csPCa.

Purpose: Adequate communication of scientific findings is crucial to enhance knowledge transfer. This study aimed to determine the key features of a good scientific oral presentation on artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging.

Methods: A total of 26 oral presentations dealing with original research on AI studies in medical imaging at the 2023 RSNA annual meeting were included and systematically assessed by three observers.
