Purpose: To build a novel, open-source, purely web-based platform system to address problems in the development and clinical use of computer-assisted detection/diagnosis (CAD) software. The new platform system will replace the existing system for the development and validation of CAD software, Clinical Infrastructure for Radiologic Computation of United Solutions (CIRCUS).

Methods: In our new system, the two top-level applications visible to users are the web-based image database (CIRCUS DB; database) and the Docker plug-in-based CAD execution platform (CIRCUS CS; clinical server). These applications are built on top of a shared application programming interface server, a three-dimensional image viewer component, and an image repository.

Results: We successfully installed our new system into a Linux server at two clinical sites. A total of 1954 cases were registered in CIRCUS DB. We have been utilizing CIRCUS CS with four Docker-based CAD plug-ins.

Conclusions: We have successfully built a new version of the CIRCUS system. Our platform was successfully implemented at two clinical sites, and we plan to publish it as an open-source software project.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to assess how well various AI models, specifically different types of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), could distinguish between benign and malignant breast tumors using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and compared these results to evaluations made by radiologists.
  • - Data was collected from 334 breast lesions scanned between May 2019 and March 2022, and results indicated that a small 2D CNN model outperformed a 3D CNN and matched or exceeded radiologists in diagnostic accuracy for identifying tumors.
  • - The findings suggested that AI models, especially the small 2D CNN using data augmentation techniques, performed comparably to radiologists in both sensitivity and specificity, making them a viable tool in radiological

Ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) testing plays a crucial role in the early detection, diagnosis, treatment evaluation, and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Clear ECG signals are essential for the subsequent analysis of these conditions. However, ECG signals obtained during exercise are susceptible to various noise interferences, including electrode motion artifact, baseline wander, and muscle artifact.

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) using deep learning systems has recently been utilized in various medical fields. In the field of gastroenterology, AI is primarily implemented in image recognition and utilized in the realm of gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. In GI endoscopy, computer-aided detection/diagnosis (CAD) systems assist endoscopists in GI neoplasm detection or differentiation of cancerous or noncancerous lesions.

Segmentation of bladder tumors from medical radiographic images is of great significance for early detection, diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of bladder cancer. Deep Convolution Neural Networks (DCNNs) have been successfully used for bladder tumor segmentation, but the segmentation based on DCNN is data-hungry for model training and ignores clinical knowledge. From the clinical view, bladder tumors originate from the mucosal surface of bladder and must rely on the bladder wall to survive and grow.

Introduction: The construction and results of a multiple-reader multiple-case prostate MRI study are described and reported to illustrate recommendations for how to standardize artificial intelligence (AI) prostate studies per the review constituting Part I.

Methods: Our previously reported approach was applied to review and report an IRB approved, HIPAA compliant multiple-reader multiple-case clinical study of 150 bi-parametric prostate MRI studies across 9 readers, measuring physician performance both with and without the use of the recently FDA cleared CADe/CADx software ProstatID.

Results: Unassisted reader AUC values ranged from 0.
