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: Rusty clinical skills, AI growing up so fast, AI for the malnourished
Clinicians who come to rely on AI for decision support risk the dulling of their skills. The concern is not new. But now comes a pointed call to researchers: Inquire about the particulars of the peril.
Which LLM is best for explaining radiology results?
With patients gaining access to imaging reports earlier than ever, it's critical they have access to large language models that can accurately summarize the results.
Rayus Radiology joins others in offering $40 mammography AI add-on service
The private equity-backed imaging group is initially launching artificial intelligence-enhanced breast imaging at clinics across Washington state.
FDA clears new AI-enabled coronary plaque analysis software
Circle Cardiovascular Imaging, a Canadian medtech company, received the key approval for its cvi42 | Plaque platform.
AI predicts interval cancer risk based on negative mammograms
The ability to predict interval cancer risk is intriguing for providers, as these cancers are often more aggressive and have worse prognoses.

Healthcare AI today: Another angle on AI regulation, move fast but don’t break things, WISeR in the real world, more

Getting healthcare AI to fulfill its destiny—can we call it that now?—will require ‘scenario-based’ consideration of every use case.

Lit review identifies a ‘glaring gap’ involving older Americans and healthcare AI

Conventional wisdom has it that older adults willingly lag behind younger subpopulations when it comes to reaping the benefits of emerging healthcare technologies, including AI.

AI model reduces false positives on lung cancer CT scans

AI model nearly halves false positive rates for lung cancer CT screenings

Reducing false positives could decrease the frequency of unnecessary procedures, lower the associated costs and also ease patient anxiety concerning CT results.

Survey: 55% of clinicians seeking new work amid healthcare labor shortages

In a Harris Poll, the vast majority (84%) of frontline healthcare workers expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs, though most said they’d consider staying in their current role if provided an opportunity for education and career advancement.

AI outperforms radiologists at predicting cancer treatment response based on imaging

These findings have the potential to change how treatment decisions are made in the future, researchers suggest.

Dana Smetherman, MD, MPH, MBA, FACR, chief executive officer of the American College of Radiology (ACR), explains ACR efforts to help members understand and enable easier integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into practice while also ensuring it can be trusted.
