Roadmap to fair AI: revealing biases in AI models for medical imaging Grantee News raymond.macdougall Wed, 04/26/2023 - 16:56 In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has been recognized as a powerful tool in the field of medical imaging. However, these models can be subject to several biases, leading to inequities in how they benefit both doctors and patients. Understanding these biases and how to mitigate them is the first step towards a fair and trustworthy AI. Source: SPIE

Biological age is increased by stress and restored upon recovery NIBIB in the News kolsen Mon, 04/24/2023 - 10:15 The biological age of humans and mice undergoes a rapid increase in response to diverse forms of stress, which is reversed following recovery from stress, according to a new study. These changes occur over relatively short time periods of days or months, according to multiple independent epigenetic aging clocks. Source: Cell Press/Science Daily

At-home videos to assess musculoskeletal health Science Highlights kolsen Tue, 04/18/2023 - 16:55 NIH-funded researchers developed an online tool that can analyze self-collected, at-home videos with a smartphone. When deployed in a nationwide study, the tool could predict physical health and osteoarthritis of the knee or hip.

Testing vaccine candidates quickly with lab-grown mini-organs NIBIB in the News kolsen Tue, 04/18/2023 - 11:45 Developing and testing new treatments or vaccines for humans almost always requires animal trials, but these experiments can sometimes take years to complete and can raise ethical concerns about the animals' treatment. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Central Science have developed a new testing platform that encapsulates B cells -- some of the most important components of the immune system -- into miniature 'organoids' to make vaccine screening quicker and greatly reduce the number of animals needed.
