EDITORIAL
Gaining an edge in cancer diagnostics Fluorescence polarization imaging, which measures the polarization of specific fluorophores relative to excitation light, has recently become a tool with which clinicians have sought to clearly delineate the boundaries of various types of cancers in the body. The fluorescence from agents such as methylene blue have traditionally been used to indicate the existence of cancerous cells in biopsy...

BIOPINION
Equitable and fair AI for health care requires a team effort The potential for bias and unfairness in the integration of AI in health care-centered research and diagnostics, particularly in medical image analysis, must be addressed to ensure equitable and effective outcomes for all patients. Biases can occur during the implementation of any of the five steps of the imaging AI model development pipeline, as our Medical Imaging and Data Resource Center...
POSTSCRIPTS
UV signals from orchids entice bees to visit In the animal kingdom, certain species are adept at camouflaging themselves to blend in with their surroundings to avoid the attention of predators. But in the plant kingdom, certain species of flowers blend in with their surroundings to increase the attraction of pollinators. Such is the case with Diuris brumalis, otherwise known as the donkey orchid, which grows in western Australia. Those who...
