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: Bipartisan AI policy guidance, AI claims denials, LLM brain rot, more
Federal lawmakers have a fresh resource to keep them up on healthcare AI that falls outside of formal FDA oversight. It comes in the form of a new report from the nonprofit Bipartisan Policy Center.
Common features of breast cancers missed by AI
Imaging experts advocate for “meticulous assessments” of cases that include luminal cancer, dense breasts, and lesions located outside the mammary zone, among other factors.
Why do AI-savvy consumers harbor skepticism toward medical AI?
Patients who frequently use AI tend to readily trust AI-assisted diagnoses made by their physicians. Counterintuitively, however, those who would rank themselves among the very best-informed about AI tend to mistrust such diagnoses.
AAA detection gets boost from commercially available AI algorithm
The opportunistic screening helps identify patients in need of monitoring and/or intervention without disrupting workflows.
