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. 

Specialists in radiology, AI can change healthcare forever—if they do this one thing

The worlds of radiology and artificial intelligence (AI) are at a bit of a crossroads, according to a new analysis published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. While experts from both fields remain focused on making technological breakthroughs, the actual relationship between radiology and AI is not getting the attention it deserves.
