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.

US doctors scoot toward 100% AI adoption
A new Doximity survey shows 94% of American physicians using AI or at least keen on it. Just as tellingly, the pace of adoption is brisk and accelerating.
New real-world evidence supports the use of AI in lung cancer screening
Though the study of AI in lung cancer screening is not new, prior research has been retrospective in nature, making it challenging to determine the impact.
Not all AI is created equal—experts caution against 'useless' applications
“If we are not careful, we run the risk of spending more time admiring these novelty-driven tools than advancing the real frontiers of radiology.”
AI turns wearable device data into actionable insights for heart failure patients
Afnan Tariq, MD, discusses early data on a passive, device-agnostic AI platform for heart failure monitoring. “When clinicians are empowered with insights and able to act earlier, you're able to have a durable impact," he said.
AI model could help providers choose more appropriate imaging exams
The model was trained on guideline-adherent data specific to clinical scenarios that would prompt a provider to order medical imaging.

Not all AI is created equal—experts caution against 'useless' applications

“If we are not careful, we run the risk of spending more time admiring these novelty-driven tools than advancing the real frontiers of radiology.”

Afnan Tariq, MD, JD, FSCAI, FACC, an interventional cardiologist, assistant clinical professor of medicine at University of California, Irvine, presented first-in-man data on a passive, device-agnostic artificial intelligence (AI) platform for heart failure monitoring using consumer wearables at the recent Technology and Heart Failure Therapeutics (THT) 2026 meeting. The study showed the AI could help lower repeat hospitalizations.
