JPEG Compression Below Level 50 Degrades AI Performance on Dental Panoramic Radiographs

JPEG compression level ≥50 maintains AI output agreement for clinically important labels on panoramic radiographs; lower levels cause degradation, with periapical radiolucency positive agreement dropping to 0.614 at level 10, mainly due to missed findings.

Patients favor AI for chest X-ray result processing, with lung cancer patients showing strongest acceptance

In a conjoint study of 440 participants, lung cancer patients favoured combined human+AI chest X-ray result processing (part-worth +13.3, p<0.001), while other groups preferred human-only. Waiting time and next care-step decisions accounted for ~67% of preference weight.

Multi-habitat MRI radiomics improves identification of active sacroiliitis over whole-lesion analysis

Multi-habitat radiomics on fat-suppressed T2 MRI achieved AUC 0.883 for identifying active sacroiliitis in axial spondyloarthritis, significantly outperforming whole-lesion radiomics (AUC 0.714; P<0.001). Peripheral transition zone and hyperintense core were key drivers.

Smaller CT pixels don’t always mean better spatial resolution

Reducing CT field of view while keeping matrix constant yields smaller pixels (e.g., 512 matrix, 200-mm FOV = 0.39 mm vs 400-mm FOV = 0.78 mm), but true spatial resolution may not improve. Finer spatial sampling does not guarantee more anatomical detail.
