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.

FDA takes first step toward ending animal testing as part of ‘3.0 modernization'
Monoclonal antibody therapies will be the first drugs permitted to take advantage of alternatives, including advanced lab simulations and artificial intelligence. A pilot framework to phase out the decades-long requirement for animal testing will be rolled out in the coming year, the FDA said.

The algorithm can be applied to noncontrast abdominal CT scans completed for any clinical indication.
Members of Congress propose faster Medicare payment pathway for imaging AI
The Health Tech Investment Act will place all FDA-approved AI devices into the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System for a minimum of five years.
GenAI adopters tentative now but confident soon: Survey
GenAI initiatives are complex and—in some cases—costly. “As such, the main rationale for pursuing them needs to be business growth, not workforce reductions.”
Consumers nudge providers to improve patient engagement—personally and digitally
The authors of the survey report note that AI tools mentioned by respondents run the gamut from automated appointment reminders to dynamic “care gap” messaging.
