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. 

'Well-resourced and innovation-focused hospitals should mentor and provide technical support to underfunded or smaller hospitals.'

How to mitigate institutional inequities involving AI

When it comes to adopting healthcare AI, large, well-off hospitals are likely to frequently homer while smaller, struggling institutions go down looking. (Baseball analogy in honor of tonight’s Midsummer Classic.) 

AI can accurately complete leg length and angular measurements

AI tool accurately completes leg length measurements up to 87% faster than human readers

Manual leg length measurements are time-consuming and can be challenging to reproduce.

Researchers have developed and validated a new artificial intelligence (AI) model capable of producing four-chamber cardiac MR (CMR) images in seconds, publishing their findings in European Radiology Experimental.

AI creates accurate 4D heart scans in seconds

New data out of England provides cardiologists and radiologists with another reminder of AI's potential to transform healthcare.

Female cardiologists much more likely to receive negative reviews

Researchers explored more than 100,000 online reviews, using AI to learn as much as possible about what drives patients to give their cardiologist a positive or negative rating.

AI tool's supplemental MRI recs help detect 4 times more breast cancers than density measures

What’s more, many of the cancers detected were invasive or multifocal, making their detection more timely.
