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.

AI best used as second opinion to help radiologists classify ground glass opacities

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) can help radiologists classify pure ground glass opacities (GGOs), according to a new study published in Clinical Imaging. But they shouldn't rely solely on AI-produced findings.
