In recent years, there has been a growing trend of using video technology in surgical procedures to enhance precision, communication, and training. While the benefits of video in surgery are many, there are also concerns regarding the legal risks that may arise from its use. Medical professionals fear that video footage of a surgery could potentially be used against them in legal proceedings, ...
The impacts of these challenges are also significant for the patients whose specimens are under review. The literature shows that pathologists, being only humans under considerable pressure, may miss cancer in up to 1-3% of prostate biopsies.2,3,4 Considering the over one million men who are diagnosed worldwide per year, this may reflect a large number of ...
The use of computer vision in radiology may have advantages for both patients and medical facilities. However, some worry that machine learning (ML) may one day replace doctors because it can outperform them. The desire for increased efficiency and efficacy in clinical care has been the primary motivating reason behind the development of AI in medical imaging. Recent technological developments, ...
” 1 The truth is septic patients pay the ultimate price for vendors and hospitals who willfully disregard the FDA guidance and those patients are being forsaken for vendor revenue and shareholder value by both vendors and hospitals. ...
