Researchers at Ruhr-Universität Bochum have analysed why certain people tend to put tasks off rather than tackling them directly. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), they identified two brain areas whose volume and functional connectivity are linked to an individual's ability to control their actions. The research team — headed by Caroline Schlüter, Marlies Pinnow, Ph.D., Prof. Onur Güntürkün, and Erhan Genç, Ph.D., from the Department of Biopsychology — published the results in the journal Psychological Science on Aug. 17, 2018.

Philips recently announced the introduction of the Epiq CVx cardiovascular ultrasound system. Built on the Epiq ultrasound platform, Epiq CVx is specifically designed to increase diagnostic confidence and simplify workflow for clinicians, giving them more time to interact with their patients and reducing the need for repeat scans. According to Philips, 95 percent of a group of clinicians who were shown the new system believed it offered improved image quality: sharper and clearer images [1]. Philips is also introducing the Epiq CVxi, specifically tailored for use in the interventional lab. Both systems are CE marked and have received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Intel and Philips recently tested two healthcare uses for deep learning inference models using Intel Xeon Scalable processors and the OpenVINO toolkit. One use case focused on X-rays of bones for bone-age-prediction modeling, the other on computed tomography (CT) scans of lungs for lung segmentation. In these tests, Intel and Philips achieved a speed improvement of 188 times for the bone-age-prediction model, and a 38 times speed improvement for the lung-segmentation model over the baseline measurements.
