TMC recognises that every year the flights we book for our radioloigsts to report from the other side of […]
Speakers at a recent Radiological Society of North America course in Paris, France, highlighted a potential challenge for artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology. A common message among experts speaking at the ‘Practical Applications in Artificial Intelligence’ course was that the quality of data could be an issue for systems looking to learn from human examples. […]

Its conclusion was simple: […]
It’s no secret that healthcare services across Europe face a significant capacity gap that in the long term can only be solved by encouraging more people into the profession. The quest for extra practitioners is throwing up ploys as diverse as looking for candidates in India or trying new ways of learning in Sweden. Now […]
It’s now been almost a year since Unilabs TMC got together to build the first truly integrated diagnostic company, combining radiology, pathology and (in future) genomic solutions – and what a year it’s been. As we come together as a business, we know we face new challenges and great opportunities. Our core business (and the […]
Much is being said these days about the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on our profession. This is supposed to be one of those transformational technologies that will forever change the way we work, hitting radiology with all the force of the printing press bursting in on the 15th century publishing world.
