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.

Radiologists criticize Anthropic CEO’s recent comments about the specialty
Ben White, MD, believes Dario Amodei may have “set a new record on how quickly you can be wrong about how radiology works and how it’s been affected by AI so far.”
Radiology Partners’ AI business receives Breakthrough Device designation from FDA
The country’s largest imaging group announced the news March 5, with the decision applying to its Cognita Chest X-ray tool across multiple clinical indications.
FDA clears AI triage tool that detects acute infarcts on noncontrast CT scans
Unlike many stroke detection applications on the market, this model covers six vascular territories and mechanisms of infarct.
'Jack-of-all-trades' AI model outperforms numerous others in CT-related tasks
Unlike other artificial intelligence tools, Merlin was built with many tasks in mind, and researchers believe its capabilities could be further expanded—with some fine-tuning.
Cardiology now has more than 200 FDA-cleared AI algorithms
Cardiology is No. 2 behind radiology when it comes to FDA-cleared AI algorithms. Neurology, meanwhile, is a distant No. 3.
