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.

AI studies can be confusing, even for imaging professionals—but they don't have to be

Machine learning (ML) has become one of the hottest topics in radiology and all of healthcare, but reading the latest and greatest ML research can be difficult, even for experienced medical professionals. A new analysis published in the American Journal of Roentgenology was written with that very problem in mind.
