Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to augment radiologist workflow and decrease strain on radiologists. Development of deep neural networks, artificial neural networks with neurons, synapses, weights, and functions, can be used to train AI models, serving as a response to this need. Publicly available databases like MIMIC-CXR and ChestX-ray8 offer hundreds of thousands of chest x-rays (CXR) used to train neural network models to detect and localize devices or disease. These publicly available databases make training AI models on large datasets possible. Once models are aptly trained, however, challenges include implementation into hospital Picture Archiving and Communication Systems …

Medical Student Research Poster Symposium
In 2009, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) released updated breast cancer screening guidelines recommending against routine screening mammography in women aged 40-49. The task forceconcluded that the decision to start regular, biennial screening mammography before age 50 years should be an individual one considering patient context, including the patient's values regarding specific benefits and potential harms. In January 2016, the USPSTF reinforced these guidelines in their Final Recommendation Statement grading screening mammography prior to age 50 as a Grade C, stating there is at least moderate certainty that the net benefit is small. Despite the USPSTF’s findings, it …

Medical Student Research Poster Symposium
Infectious diseases are caused by a wide spectrum of organisms and can present in myriad fashion. They are important contributors to morbidity and mortality. While some infections are localized to specific organs, others can cause systemic illness. Identification of source of infection is a very important step in the management of infections but may be occasionally challenging due to non-specific symptoms and signs. Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and localization of infection. Several anatomical and functional imaging modalities are available, with the choice of specific imaging modality dependent on the clinical presentation as well as availability of …
