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. 

Radiomics-based models can detect pancreatic cancer well before clinical diagnosis

Recently a radiomics-based machine learning model proved highly accurate at predicting which patients would develop pancreatic cancer three to 36 months after abdominal CT imaging.

Google Cloud intros ambitious branch dedicated to medical imaging

A Big Four tech company has launched a platform it hopes will accelerate data interoperability and AI adoption in, specifically, medical imaging.

The lack of clinical trials may be holding back AI adoption in healthcare

The healthcare industry has a lot of hope for machine learning solutions across patient care. However, there are many barriers to widespread adoption keeping machine learning from being implemented into clinical practice.

For monitoring purposes, AI-aided MRI does what liver biopsy does with less risk, lower cost

Patients with autoimmune hepatitis may be better monitored across disease stages by AI-augmented multiparametric MRI than by liver biopsy, as the imaging has proven less costly and is inherently less risky due to its noninvasiveness.

Majority of radiology residents support implementation of AI-based curriculum

Residents who were given access to the AI-based decision support system reported feeling that the tool was useful in multiple clinical scenarios, and its use was overwhelmingly supported by those who provided feedback.
