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.

Lung cancers efficiently identified, characterized with novel AI approach

Researchers at the State University of New York at Stony Brook have demonstrated a deep-learning algorithm that can quickly diagnose early-stage lung cancer on CT scans by combining computerized self-trained tumor identification with engineered identification of specific tumor features.

Predictive model may reduce overtreatment of ground glass nodules

A model based on radiomic features extracted from CT scans can help predict which ground glass nodule (GGN) cases require surgery and may reduce overtreatment, according to researchers at the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University in Suzhou, China.

4 areas where AI is having its biggest impact on breast imaging

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are advancing at a rapid rate and starting to make a direct impact on breast imaging. There is still a lot of work to be done, however, before AI can truly be trusted with making decisions that may impact a patient’s survival, according to a new commentary published in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

Radiomics, AI fall short of radiologists in breast lesion classification on MRI

Radiologists outperformed a convolutional neural network (CNN) and radiomic analysis (RA) at classifying contrast-enhancing lesions on multiparametric breast MRI, according to a Nov. 13 study published in Radiology. With more training, however, CNNs may soon close that gap.
