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.

How AI can help ‘see beyond’ breast density, provide more individualized patient care

Mammography is an essential screening and diagnostic tool for the detection of breast cancer and the assessment of breast density. But, according to Victoria L. Mango, MD, a breast radiologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, AI can help breast imagers and physicians see beyond basic breast density information provided by mammographic images and improve clinical management overall.
