Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a crucial component of healthcare to help augment physicians and make them more efficient. In medical imaging, it is helping radiologists more efficiently manage PACS worklists, enable structured reporting, auto detect injuries and diseases, and to pull in relevant prior exams and patient data. In cardiology, AI is helping automate tasks and measurements on imaging and in reporting systems, guides novice echo users to improve imaging and accuracy, and can risk stratify patients. AI includes deep learning algorithms, machine learning, computer-aided detection (CAD) systems, and convolutional neural networks.

American College of Radiology to launch AI accreditation program

As the use of AI in imaging continues to grow, it’s “become clear" that real world performance of these products can defer from premarket testing, experts note. 

Manisha Bahl, MD, breast imaging division quality director and breast imaging division co-service chief, Massachusetts General Hospital, and an associate professor of radiology, Harvard Medical School, explains the findings of a recent study she was involved in at RSNA 2024. She also offers insights into growing interest at sessions in using AI in breast imaging.

What radiologists think about using ChatGPT and AI in breast imaging

Manisha Bahl, MD, explained that ChatGPT and other large language models offer significant potential to help radiologists with breast imaging exams, but they are "not quite ready for primetime."
