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.

ASCO 2018: Advanced MRI—aided by AI—classifies brain tumors based on mutation status, decreasing diagnostic uncertainty

Research presented at ASCO 2018 found that using contrast perfusion-weighted MRI enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI) and texture analysis can differentiate between brain tumors according to their mutation status.

AI imaging software highly vulnerable to cyberattacks

“The most striking thing to me as a researcher crafting these attacks was probably how easy they were to carry out," said study lead author Samuel Finlayson, a computer scientist and biomedical informatician at Harvard Medical School in Boston, in an IEEE Spectrum story.
