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.

Algorithm reduces NSCLC tumor segmentation times by 65%

In a close collaboration with radiation oncologists, experts trained their model on the CT lung images of 787 patients and tested it on the scans of more than 1,300 patients from external datasets.

Clinical evidence is limited in many AI product promotions, analysis shows

To promote the legitimacy of their products, companies most often tout their partnerships with medical and academic institutions, in addition to their applications’ legal approvals.

Julius Bogdan, vice president and general manager of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Digital Health Advisory Team for North America, explains considerations for healthcare system information technology (IT) management teams on the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI). He also discusses ideally how AI should be integrated into medical IT systems, and some of the issues AI presents in the complex environment of real-world patient care." #AI #HIMSS

Bibb Allen, MD, FACR, chief medical officer of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Data Science Institute, and former ACR president, explains how hospitals or radiology departments can conduct quality assurance (QA) assessments on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms they adopt to ensure they are accurate. The ACR established the Assess-AI Registry and AI-Lab to help with validating and tracking AI QA for FDA-cleared algorithms.
