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. 

MediView XR, Inc.'s clinical augmented reality and surgical navigation technology

Augmented reality startup that gives interventional radiologists ‘X-ray vision’ during procedures raises $24M

Founded in 2017 using intellectual property developed at the Cleveland Clinic, MediView has introduced a new FDA-cleared surgical navigation and imaging platform.
