Dear AuntMinnie Member,
Summer may be coming to a close, but there is still plenty of hot news in radiology if this week's top stories are any indication.
Our top article of the week was this story on how researchers in New York City developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for screening head CT exams to see which scans needed urgent review by radiologists. The group believes the tool could help identify cases of stroke, hemorrhage, or other problems more quickly.
Another artificial intelligence story was our No. 2 article of the week. Senior Editor Erik L. Ridley reported on a recent webinar by Frost & Sullivan analyst Nadim Daher on future opportunities in AI in medical imaging. Read all about it by clicking here.
Also learn about an AI developer that plans to go public, and an AI algorithm for treating glioblastoma. These stories and more are available in our Artificial Intelligence Community at ai.auntminnie.com.
Minnies deadline on Sunday
The deadline for nominations is drawing to a close for the Minnies awards, our annual event recognizing excellence in radiology. We're taking suggestions from our members on which products, papers, educators, and researchers deserve recognition, with winners to be selected by our panel of radiology experts through two rounds of voting that conclude in October.
The nominations represent your chance to participate in the process, so don't pass it up! Nominations will close at midnight on Sunday, so get started at minnies.auntminnie.com.
#6StepsToRads tweetchat on Monday
We're pleased to announce the second installment in our 6 Steps to Radiology (#6StepsToRads) series on applying to radiology residency programs. The new article focuses on getting ready for the current season of the Electronic Residency Application Service process, dealing with nuts and bolts like updating your curriculum vitae, writing your personal statement, and securing letters of recommendation. Check it out by clicking here.
We're following up the article with another #6StepsToRads tweetchat on Monday, August 20, at 7 p.m. Eastern/4 p.m. Pacific. The tweetchat is designed for medical students getting ready to apply for radiology residency, and we'll have radiology educators on hand to answer some of the most pressing questions for would-be trainees. Tell all the medical students you know about it!
