Our Europe MedTech Analyst digs into the transformational impact of AI-driven diagnostic imaging on healthcare systems.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market, I'm Robert Davies, Morgan Stanley's Head of the Europe MedTech research team. Today I want to take you behind the scenes to show you how AI is revolutionizing our approach to medical diagnostics via Smart Imaging.It's Thursday, December 5, at 10 AM in Boston.When was the last time you needed to get an X-Ray, a CT scan, or an ultrasound? Depending on where you live, your wait time could be as long as a month. Medical diagnostics through imaging is facing enormous challenges right now. Population growth, rising longevity, and intensifying chronic disease burdens are driving ever increasing volumes of medical scans. In the U.S. alone, CT scan volumes have quadrupled since 1995. So, what is the impact of this? Imagine a radiologist interpreting a CT or MRI image every 3-4 seconds during an eight-hour workday. This is the current pace needed to meet the soaring demand.At the same time, the U.S. population is getting older and a growing number of people are signing up for Medicare. Healthcare costs are continually rising, total U.S. healthcare spend is now hitting $4.5 trillion. That's nearly 20% of U.S. GDP. On top of that, patients need fast, accurate diagnosis. But long wait times often mean that patients don't get the diagnostic done in time or sometimes not at all. All of this indicates that more and more stress is being placed on hospital systems each year in terms of diagnostic imaging.Smart Imaging uses AI tools to improve imaging processing and workflows to enhance traditional image gathering, processing, and analysis. It sits at the intersection of Longevity and Tech Diffusion, two of Morgan Stanley Research's big themes for 2024. And it can help solve these acute demand challenges. In fact, AI is already transforming the $45 billion Diagnostic Imaging market.AI-driven Smart Imaging integrates into the diagnostic imaging workflow at multiple stages—from preparation and planning, all the way to image processing and interpretation. The primary benefits of using AI are twofold. Firstly, it enhances image quality, which ensures more accurate diagnoses. And secondly it improves the speed, efficiency, and overall comfort of the patient journey. At the same time, AI effectively acts as a second set of eyes for the radiologist, often surpassing human accuracy in pattern recognition. That's crucial in reducing diagnostic errors—a problem costing the U.S. healthcare system around $100 billion annually at the moment.In addition to minimizing misdiagnosis, AI is not only capable of identifying the primary disease, but also registering any potential secondary diseases. Otherwise, this isn't normally a priority for the radiologist who is only able to spend 3-4 seconds looking at any individual image. But it's a potentially life-saving benefit for using Smart Imaging applications.So how does AI fit into the clinical setting? There are multiple stages to the Diagnostic Imaging workflow and AI can play a role across the entire value chain from preparing a patient's scan, to processing the images, and finally, aiding in the diagnosis, reporting, and treatment planning.Radiology is currently dominating the FDA list of AI/Machine Learning-Enabled Medical Devices. And when we look at the broader economic implications, it's clear Smart Imaging represents a pivotal development in healthcare technology that has broad implications for healthcare costs, quality of care, and better healthcare outcomes.Thanks for listening.

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis and Alex delve into a recent study on hemodynamic deterioration in trauma patients during inter-hospital transfers. They discuss the implications of the study's findings, the challenges posed by the tyranny of distance in trauma care, and the importance of effective communication in medical transfers. The conversation also covers the study's methodology, the significance of injury severity scores, and the need for stringent monitoring parameters in trauma patient management. In this conversation, Dennis and Alex delve into the complexities of trauma data, particularly focusing on civilian versus military contexts. They discuss the prevalence of ground-level falls in geriatric patients, the challenges of translating civilian trauma data to military settings, and the importance of diagnostic imaging and clinical experience in making informed decisions about patient transfers. The conversation emphasizes the need for better methodologies in trauma research to identify reversible outcomes and improve patient care. Takeaways The tyranny of distance significantly impacts trauma care delivery. Retrospective studies have limitations that can affect their reliability. Effective communication is crucial in medical transfers between facilities. Monitoring parameters like heart rate and blood pressure may not always indicate true patient stability. Understanding injury severity scores is essential for assessing trauma patients. The shock index can be a valuable tool in trauma assessment. There is a need for more stringent criteria in determining patient deterioration. The study's findings highlight the importance of optimizing pre-hospital care. Collaboration between military and civilian medical communities is vital for improving outcomes. Evidence-based practice should guide trauma care protocols. The most common injury mechanism in civilian trauma is ground-level falls. Geriatric patients are particularly vulnerable to lethal injuries from falls. Civilian trauma data may not apply to military settings due to different injury patterns. Diagnostic imaging plays a crucial role in assessing trauma patients. Clinical experience is essential for making transfer decisions. Understanding the limitations of diagnostic tools is vital for accurate assessments. Identifying reversible outcomes can improve trauma care. There is a need for better trauma research methodologies. Noise in data can obscure meaningful insights in trauma studies. Engaging with recent articles can enhance the quality of trauma discussions.

By 2030, the World Health Organization predicts a global shortage of 15 million healthcare workers. As the number of individuals requiring medical care increases, staff shortages are becoming more of a problem. In diagnostic areas with complex indications, the lack of trained and knowledgeable staff can lead not only to errors but also to insufficient time for patient care. Radiology technologists must also be able to perform complex cases, and this requires separate training.To solve the global staffing shortage, there are two crucial keys: staff recruitment and staff retention — both of which medical schools, hospitals, and industry can play an important role in. Today, Ven Virah, Global Contingent Staffing Expert, Workforce Solutions at Siemens Healthineers, is joined by Dr. Elliot K. Fishman, Director of the Divisions of Diagnostic Imaging at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and Professor of Radiology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland; Brad Genereaux, Global Lead of Medical Imaging at NVIDIA; and Elio Arruzza, a lecturer and research academic in medical radiation science at the University of South Australia who also works as a radiographer and medical imaging technologist for Jones Radiology in South Australia.What You'll Learn in This Episode:•That today's medical students demand a more interactive education (00:13)•How advances in virtual reality and augmented reality are creating better trained, more confident healthcare providers (02:41)•With a hands-on approach to education, how students can adapt more easily to in-person training at hospitals and clinics (05:19)•By using AR and VR simulation training, how healthcare professionals working with medical students can free crucial time while their students train (06:44)•That artificial intelligence has the potential to act as a research partner, a sounding board, and a failsafe for medical professionals (12:24)Connect with Ven VirahLinkedInConnect with Dr. Elliot FishmanLinkedInConnect with Elio Arruzza LinkedInConnect with Brad GenereauxLinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

Currently, important delays have been reported in diagnosing amyloid heart disease, perhaps not unexpectedly given the wide spectrum of possible clinical presentations. Beyond evaluating the typical clinical indicators to attain the correct diagnosis, healthcare practitioners need to be aware of diagnostic testing approaches which include screening for serum and urine free monoclonal light chains, echocardiography, bone scintigraphy, cardiac MRI and genetic sequencing. This podcast will focus on multimodality cardiac imaging approaches and the application of diagnostic findings which contribute to an accurate diagnosis of ATTR-CM, specifically in differentiating ATTR-CA from AL-CA, and how to determine treatment options.

Current law requires insurance companies to cover the cost of annual mammograms for women over the age of 40, without any cost to the woman. Unfortunately, individuals at a higher risk of breast cancer or those requiring follow-up imaging due to an abnormal mammogram result will likely be facing hundreds to thousands of dollars in patient cost sharing. Komen strongly supports policies that eliminate the out-of-pocket cost of these medically necessary tests. Today's guest was diagnosed with breast cancer after having to pay nearly $2,000 out-of-pocket for diagnostic tests, all before she even got to treatment. She was grateful she could afford it, but now wants to help other women to make sure they have the resources they need to get their appropriate diagnosis. Renee Williams White is here today to share more about her story, the importance of screening and how she recently played a part in helping Susan G. Komen's Center for Public Policy pass legislation in Maryland to do just that.

Pug encephalitis causes inflammation of the brain in some small-breed dogs. It is always fatal and there is no cure. It is estimated that 1.2 percent of Pugs will die from this condition. It is believed to be an inherited autoimmune disorder with genetic markers. Vets may prescribe steroids or other immunosuppressive drugs to manage the condition. Pug dog encephalitis (PDE) is a severe and debilitating disease in small breed dogs that causes inflammation of the brain. This condition is inherited in Pugs but can occur in other breeds as well.    Unfortunately, the disease is fatal and it is estimated that 1.2 percent of Pugs will die from Pug encephalitis (1). Although there is no cure for this disease, early diagnosis and management can help your dog maintain a good quality of life for as long as possible. What is Pug Dog Encephalitis? Pug dog encephalitis is the colloquial name for Necrotizing Meningoencephalitis (NME), a severe and incurable condition that causes inflammation and death of the brain tissue.   Although the disease primarily affects Pugs, other small breed dogs—including Maltese, Chihuahuas, and Yorkshire Terriers, can be affected as well.   Young adults are most commonly affected, with most being diagnosed before 7 years of age. Young, fawn-colored, female Pugs are especially prone to developing this condition. What Causes the Condition? Pug encephalitis is believed to be an inherited autoimmune disorder. In Pugs, genetic markers have been identified that can predict a dog's risk for developing the disease. One in eight Pugs with two copies of these genetic markers will develop Pug encephalitis in their lifetime (2). At this time, it is not known why some dogs develop the disease while others do not. Other small breeds such as Maltese, Chihuahuas, and Yorkshire Terriers can also develop NME. A genetic basis is suspected in these breeds as well, but has not yet been proven. To date, the disease has not been reported in medium or large breed dogs. Symptoms of Pug Dog Encephalitis The symptoms of Pug dog encephalitis may come on gradually or may progress rapidly depending on the patient.  Many cases start with vague symptoms such as lethargy and depression, which can often be overlooked.   As the disease progresses, pet owners may notice more dramatic symptoms, such as: Seizures Collapse Circling Appearing lost or disoriented Behavior changes Weakness, stumbling Blindness Abnormal gait Coma Diagnosing the Condition If your dog is showing symptoms of Pug encephalitis, you should seek veterinary care immediately. Other conditions may present with similar symptoms, so your veterinarian will likely recommend several diagnostic tests to determine the underlying cause of your dog's clinical signs.   Sampling the brain tissue through biopsy or necropsy is the only way to definitively diagnose Necrotizing Meningoencephalitis. However, other less invasive tests may be used to establish a tentative diagnosis.   Your veterinarian will perform a full physical examination, and may perform some or all of the following tests: Blood Work. A complete blood count and biochemistry panel may be performed to evaluate organ function and look for underlying conditions such as liver disease or toxin exposure, which can cause similar clinical signs. Diagnostic Imaging. Imaging such as MRI may be used to evaluate your dog's brain and spinal cord. Often this requires referral to a specialist. Your dog will also likely need to be placed under general anesthesia for this procedure. CSF Tap. Your veterinarian may recommend taking a sample of your dog's cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Examining the cells of this fluid under a microscope can help rule out other types of meningitis and encephalitis that cause similar clinical signs. Genetic Testing.  In Pugs, a genetic test is available that can identify which individuals are at higher risk for developing NME. Dogs with two copies of the genetic markers of NME are 12.75 times more likely to develop the disease in their lifetime, compared to dogs with only one or no copies of these markers (2). How to Treat Pug Encephalitis Unfortunately, there is no cure for Pug encephalitis. Treatment is focused on decreasing the immune response, alleviating inflammation, and minimizing seizures.   Your veterinarian may prescribe steroids or other immunosuppressive drugs to manage the condition. Antiepileptic drugs may also be prescribed for patients experiencing seizures due to NME.  Most patients will need to stay on these medications for life and will relapse if the medication is discontinued. Because these medications can have severe side effects, some trial and error may be necessary to find the drugs and dosages that work best for your dog. Pug Dog Encephalitis Life Expectancy Pug dog encephalitis is a serious condition and is ultimately fatal. Most dogs will succumb to the disease within a year of diagnosis, although some dogs can survive for several years with medication and supportive care.   Frequent rechecks with your veterinarian will be necessary to monitor response to treatment and ensure your dog is maintaining a good quality of life. Cost to Manage Pug Encephalitis  Pug encephalitis can be costly because it often requires advanced testing to diagnose the condition. In some cases, your dog may need to be referred to a specialist for diagnosis and treatment.   Depending on the medications used, your dog may also need frequent rechecks and blood work to monitor the effects of these drugs.Thus, pet owners should expect to spend several thousand dollars on diagnosis and treatment of Pug dog encephalitis. How to Prevent Pug Dog Encephalitis Studies have shown a strong familial inheritance of this disease in Pugs. The disease is also believed to be genetic in other breeds, although this has not yet been proven. Any dog diagnosed with Pug encephalitis should not be bred, because there is a high risk that the disease will be passed on to the dog's offspring. The parents of affected dogs should also not be bred together again, as they may be carriers of the disease. In Pugs, a genetic test is available which can help identify potential carriers of Pug dog encephalitis. Testing before breeding is recommended to avoid producing puppies with a higher risk of developing this disease.

In this episode, Ethan compares and contrasts the diagnostic imaging tools, CAC (coronary artery calcium score) and CTA (CT angiography), used to image plaque—including the latest in CTA software—and how these tools inform our understanding of ASCVD risk and guide clinical decision-making. Ethan discusses the types of plaque that cause events and the data that make a case for optimal medical therapy over stenting outside of particular cases. He explains why high blood pressure is problematic and walks through the data from clinical trials testing aggressive treatment. He talks about the best way to actually measure blood pressure, why we shouldn't simply accept that blood pressure rises with age, and how he uses different pharmaceutical agents to treat hypertension. Additionally, Ethan explains our current, but limited, understanding of the role of metabolic health in ASCVD. He discusses the impact of fat storage capacity and the location of fat storage and explains how and why there is still a residual risk, even in people who have seemingly normal lipids, don't smoke, and have normal blood pressure. We discuss: Ethan's entrepreneurial work in the cardiometabolic disease space [4:30]; Calcium scans (CAC scores) and CT angiography (CTA), and how it informs us about ASCVD risk [6:00]; Peter's historical CAC scores, CTA results, and how one can be misled [10:45]; How Peter's CTA results prompted him to lower his apoB [14:45]; Calcium scans vs. CT angiogram (CTA) [21:15]; How Ethan makes clinical decisions based on CTA results and plaque burden, and the importance of starting treatment early to prevent ASCVD [28:15]; Improved methods of CTA to grade plaque lesions and how it's shaped medical decisions such as stenting [33:45]; Why Ethan favors optimal medical therapy over stenting outside of particular situations [41:45]; The need for FFR CTA, and the potential for medical therapy to eliminate ASCVD [54:00]; The fat attenuation index (FAI) and other ways to measure inflammation in a plaque [57:30]; Statins and exercise may increase the risk of calcification, but what does this mean for risk? [59:45]; The root cause of statin hesitation despite evidence that statins are a profoundly important intervention [1:05:30]; Importance of keeping blood pressure in check, defining what's normal, and whether we should just accept higher blood pressure with age [1:10:45]; Blood pressure variability, how to best measure it, and data suggesting the enormous impact of keeping blood pressure down [1:21:00]; Drugs for treating high blood pressure recommended by the ALLHAT trial [1:35:15]; What the SPRINT trial says about the aggressive treatment of hypertension, and the risks of such treatment [1:38:15]; Confirmatory results in the STEP trial for blood pressure, and how Ethan uses the various pharmacological agents to lower blood pressure in patients [1:43:15]; The role metabolic health in ASCVD: what we do and don't know [1:51:00]; The impact of fat storage capacity and the location of fat storage on metabolic health and coronary artery disease [1:56:15]; and More.

Dr. Lance Mabry did a very large study with 4,800 subjects on the topic of a physical therapist's ability to refer for musculoskeletal imaging. This research shows that most people that are using imaging skills are not PTs. So the concept of the overutilization of imaging is not really correct. The imaging is instead being used inappropriately. More than 28% of PTs are actually using all nine imaging skills routinely. So there is definitely a say when it comes to opening diagnostic imaging across different states. Join Dr. Joe Tatta as he talks to Dr. Mabry about the findings of his recent study about imaging.
