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.

AI can be health equity’s best friend—or one of its worst frenemies

AI can hurt or help the cause of advancing equality of resources, services and outcomes in healthcare. If it’s to do more helping than hurting, the technology must permeate primary care—and do so with certain goals and guidelines.
