Seeing the unseen: novel imaging to capture placental insufficiency as it unfoldsClinicians currently measure everything around the placenta, such as fetal growth and blood flow patterns, but not the placenta itself. In her PhD thesis, Fatimah Al Darwish combined MRI, contrast-enhanced ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging in a rat model to directly visualize placental perfusion and oxygenation as insufficiency unfolds, uncovering a critical window for early detection and therapy.
AI may help identify cardiac amyloidosis on routine ECGsAI applied to routine ECG images can help identify patients who may warrant further testing for ATTR-CM, a treatable form of heart failure. That is the conclusion of an international study led by Philip Croon of Amsterdam UMC, conducted at Yale School of Medicine.
