Dual-energy CT texture analysis with machine learning for the evaluation and characterization of cervical lymphadenopathy

All lymph nodes meeting inclusion criteria (Fig. 1, Fig. 2) were included in this study. Texture analysis was performed using a filtration-histogram technique with a commercially-available research software (TexRAD Ltd., Cambridge, United Kingdom) by manually delineating a region of interest (ROI) around the largest diameter of the lymph node in the axial plane.
That's exactly what the NHS is going to do. They will insist on their doctors using this. WhatsApp screen shots of medical images are not safe both in terms of medical precision nor data security. I confidently predict this will sweep through the NHS in double rapid time. After all NHS mistakes kill 11,000 people per year. That needs to be reduced. PDQ.

It would seem that the Devon / Cornwall radiologists are in desperate need of help managing their workload.
There is a purpose built radiology academy in that area. Perhaps one of the doctors heading up the academy could put in a word to the Devon / Cornwall NHS about using TexRAD to help alleviate a portion of the radiologists workload. See any likely candidates?
