Real smarts boosts AI value Scientists in the biophotonics community have long recognized the value of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in diagnostics, ever since the creation of a computer-assisted detection model to highlight areas of concern in images and the FDA’s subsequent approval of this approach for mammography in the 1990s. Software programs have since catapulted radiomics — the...

Imaging helps call out a 'monster' Nearly 70 years ago, an unusual fossil found in Mazon Creek Lagerstätte in Grundy County in Illinois spawned a decades-long dispute about what type of marine creature the Tully monster is. Discovered by fossil hunter Francis Tully in the 1950s, the ~15 cm-long, soft-bodied Tullimonstrum gregarium has stalked eyes and a long nose and is unlike any other species on the fossil record. A debate began...
