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.

Large-language AI models aren’t immune to medical misinformation, but they can learn to discern

Medical AI is likely to pass along potentially dangerous misinformation when the distortion comes to the model from a normally trustworthy source using a convincingly authoritative voice.

New AI foundation model offers wide adaptability across neuroradiology

Unlike most AI tools that were built for specific applications like identifying stroke, the foundation model can be used for a wide array of tasks, as it can learn from other AI frameworks.
