AZmed Receives FDA Clearance for AI-Powered Pediatric Fracture Detection Solution

AI applications for chest detection systems make better medical imaging capabilities. AZchest analyzes each frontal and lateral chest X-ray for seven common lung and heart conditions: lung nodules, rib fractures, cardiomegaly (enlarged heart), consolidation (filled-in airspace), pleural effusion (fluid around the lungs), pneumothorax (air leakage due to lung rupture), and pulmonary edema (fluid in the lung tissue). Late shifts tire even the best readers, so tiny clues can slip past. Yet AI in chest detection stays alert, driving early diagnosis and also guarding against early stage lung cancer. The software’s deep‑learning engine, built on an ensemble convolutional neural network, speeds every read. Plugged straight into PACS, it draws clear boxes, triages cases, and lets radiologists open the right cases first, then finish the rest with calm confidence.

Radiology still pays well, and every resident at a career fair ends up asking the same thing: What is the salary of a radiologist right now? The new Doximity Physician Compensation Report 2025 answers that question with hard numbers. This article checks those numbers against outside news reports [1] [2] [3], explains why they moved, and shows how you can use the data when you plan a career, recruit talent, or renegotiate a contract.

Europe’s hospitals are ageing along with their citizens. The share of people over 65 has already reached 21% and is forecast to approach 30% by 2050 [1]. Chronic diseases rise in tandem, while staff shortages deepen. Health-care professionals spend more than half of the time they devote to patient care working inside electronic health records rather than with patients [1].

AI, the study argues, is no longer optional. Even “low-hanging-fruit” applications—triage queues, smart worklists, ambient clinical scribes—can reclaim hours, cut burnout, and widen access to expertise beyond city hospitals [1]. Yet uptake crawls, hamstrung by fragmented rules, outdated servers and, above all, mistrust.

Those obstacles are precisely what Brussels has started to clear.
