[ad_1] The researchers trained the system on multiple tasks, including looking at chest X-rays to diagnose conditions like a collapsed lung. When asked to diagnose cardiomegaly (an enlarged heart), the human-AI hybrid model performed eight percent better than either the AI or medical professionals could on their own. “There are many obstacles that understandably prohibit […]

X-rays help astronomers detect spinning black holes
[ad_1] The team used an in-between galaxy to get clear images of quasars consisting of the black holes, with Chandra offering a sharp-enough image to separate the multiple images that resulted from the lensing effect. From there, microlensing (in this case, magnification using individual stars from the galaxy) helped detect the spin in question. The […]
Researchers identify red coloring in an ancient fossil for the first time
[ad_1] The global team of researchers responsible for the finding had to bathe the fossil in a series of intense X-ray beams, including ones developed by the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and the UK’s Diamond Light Source. While standard image processing techniques simply produce dark and light patterns, the breakthrough makes it possible to discern […]
