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. 

New technique uses AI, machine learning for image reconstruction

Researchers have developed a novel technique that reconstructs medical images using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, according to a new study published in Nature. This saves radiologists valuable time and could potentially result in patients being exposed to lower radiation doses.

Allen, Dreyer explain why radiologists must be involved in AI development

Radiologists must step up and get involved with the design and development of AI tools relevant to radiology, according to a new column published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. By just taking a “wait and see” approach, specialists risk being left out of the conversation altogether.

"This was an unneeded burden, which was solely adding to the administrative hassles of medicine," said American Society of Nuclear Cardiology President Larry Phillips.

SCAI and four other major healthcare organizations signed a joint letter in support of intravascular ultrasound. 

The newly approved AI models are designed to improve the detection of pulmonary embolisms and strokes in patients who undergo CT scans.
