The American Dialect Society chose their 2023 word of the year : enshittificati o n. From its coiner, Cory Doctorow : Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.

A commercial AI system achieved high marks as a first reader in double-reader settings for breast cancer screening, a Danish study published December 20 in Cancer Imaging found. Researchers led by Mohammad Elhakim, MD, from Odense University Hospital found that a standalone AI system achieved high specificity as a first reader and for combined reading, along with moderate sensitivity for both reading scenarios.

In 2003, the Center for Molecular and Functional Imaging (CMFI) at China Basin Landing opened its doors with San Francisco’s first 3T MRI and two 1.5T clinical scanners, followed a few years later by a cyclotron which launched our in-house radiopharmaceutical program. Since then, the CMFI has been at the forefront of 3T research and major advances in theranostics and precision medicine.

The Zelotes C18 (aka TRELC Gaming Mouse with 5D Rocker aka ZLOT Vertical Mouse) is a solid very inexpensive productivity and ergonomics upgrade. If you’ve never used a mouse other than whatever’s plugged into the computer already, this currently sells for just $29. It’s probably the best way to trial a vertical mouse for radiology without breaking the bank.

The brain is not only the most complex organ of the human body, but also one of the most difficult to study. To understand the roles of different regions of the human brain and how they interact, it is crucial to measure neuronal activity with subjects who are awake while they perform controlled tasks. However, the most accurate measurement devices are invasive, which greatly limits their use on healthy humans in real-life settings.
