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.

Healthcare AI today: 95% fail rate, epic at Epic, AI to the rescue of short staffs, more
Most organizations trying out generative AI—a full 95%—are failing to receive a measurable return on the pilot investment.
Johns Hopkins researchers: Time is running out to leverage AI for patients beyond a certain age
If three sticking points aren’t unstuck soon, older Americans won’t benefit much by the 1,000+ medical devices that, as of 2025, are both equipped with AI and cleared by the FDA.
UnitedHealth forms ‘public responsibility committee’ to improve its reputation
The insurance giant is charging the new board committee with monitoring company policies related to prior authorizations, claims adjudication and AI. The group is scheduled to meet four times a year.
Former US surgeon general joins Eko as medical advisor
"Eko is transforming how we detect cardiovascular disease—making cutting-edge, AI-powered tools accessible to frontline providers," said former U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams, MD.
FDA clears CCTA AI coronary plaque assessment from Artrya
Australia-based Artrya Limited says its AI-enabled Salix Coronary Plaque module offers near real-time, point-of-care CCTA assessment and management of coronary artery disease.

4 ways imaging informatics is central to AI in radiology

“With the ability to understand each of the different domains and translate between the experts in these domains, imaging informaticists are now essential players in the development, evaluation and deployment of AI in the clinical environment.”

Dynamic duo: AI teamed with radiologist diagnoses breast cancer with 90% accuracy

Researchers trained the machine by feeding it almost 230,000 digital mammography exams and more than 1 million images.

AI detects changes ‘invisible’ to humans, helps radiologists ID breast cancer

Trained on nearly 1 million screening mammography images, researchers from New York University found their algorithm could push radiologists’ ability to accurately identify breast cancer to nearly 90%.

Battling helplessness: Experts urge radiologists not to sit on the sideline as AI takes hold

Researchers are urging radiological professionals to stay visible and active as their institutions incorporate artificial intelligence into their imaging practices.

AI can help radiologists ID difficult pneumothorax cases

"The AI we use works almost like magic—and it will help radiologists save lives," said Antonio Sze-To, a postdoctoral fellow who worked on the project.
