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.

RSNA 2018: How AI can help, but also hack into medical imaging

"Neural networks, such as cycle-consistent generative adversarial network (CycleGAN), are not only able to learn what breast cancer looks like, we have now shown that they can insert these learned characteristics into mammograms of healthy patients or remove cancerous lesions from the image and replace them with normal looking tissue,” said Anton S. Becker, MD, at RSNA 2018 in Chicago.

RSNA 2018: The value of automated recommendations in AI radiology reporting

As time goes on, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more widely accepted as a necessary component of clinical workflow in medical imaging. According to Tarik K. Alkasab, MD, PhD, a radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, AI has the potential to make radiology reporting much more consistent and ultimately help radiologists make smarter decisions.
