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 model for ankle stress radiography could reduce radiologists’ workload by average of 70%

Interpreting such exams can be a “subjective and time-consuming task,” researchers detailed in Academic Radiology.  

AI-based CAD assessments dramatically improve vascular surgery outcomes

PAD patients evaluated with HeartFlow's noninvasive FFRCT Analysis technology prior to surgery experienced much better outcomes, including a 63% lower risk of all-cause mortality after five years. 

Cardiology ranked No. 2 among all specialties with 122 FDA-cleared AI models

Only radiology is associated with more FDA-cleared AI algorithms than cardiology, according to new federal data.
