Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) can be difficult to treat once it develops, making prevention especially important. In a retrospective study, a Hiroshima University researcher found that quantitative measurements extracted from CT images taken before treatment, when analyzed with machine learning, could distinguish patients who later developed the condition from those who did not—an early step toward predicting MRONJ risk before bone resorption inhibitor therapy begins.
Portal hypertension is a serious complication of chronic liver disease that can lead to life-threatening conditions such as internal bleeding and liver failure. A new study examines how advances in imaging, blood-based biomarkers, predictive models, and artificial intelligence are reshaping the non-invasive diagnosis of the condition. By bringing together the latest evidence, the review highlights how these approaches could support earlier detection, improve disease monitoring, and reduce the need for invasive procedures.
Seoul National University’s College of Engineering announced that Hyunsoo Lee, an undergraduate student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has presented research in generative visual computing, spanning image editing and 3D content generation, at leading international conferences in machine learning and computer vision, including NeurIPS, CVPR, and ECCV. These conferences represent premier venues in their respective fields, making Lee’s sustained record of publication as an undergraduate particularly noteworthy.
Relying on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in health care also carries a risk that existing racial and gender stereotypes will be reflected in the medical content it generates.
- A team led by KAIST Chair Professor Shinhyun Choi develops a programmable dynamic memtransistor (PDM) whose response characteristics can be configured to match different input-data timescales
- The device reduces time-series prediction errors by up to 40-fold compared with conventional fixed-response AI semiconductors, with potential applications in autonomous vehicles, robotics, wearables, and other edge AI systems
