Juliet Alla, MD discusses a study examining the technical adequacy of several body composition AI tools when applied to a set of heterogenous sample of outside imaging studies. Special guest Dr. Tara Retson, with multiple publications on algorithm development and the role of AI in radiology, joins us to discuss the implications for clinical practice.

It is relevant for the general radiologists and neurologists since it may help identify patients who could benefit from late-window reperfusion treatments or neuromodulation treatments.
