Imaging Informatics

Imaging informatics (also known as radiology informatics, a component of wider medical or healthcare informatics) includes systems to transfer images and radiology data between radiologists, referring physicians, patients and the entire enterprise. This includes picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), wider enterprise image systems, radiology information. systems (RIS), connections to share data with the electronic medical record (EMR), and software to enable advanced visualization, reporting, artificial intelligence (AI) applications, analytics, exam ordering, clinical decision support, dictation, and remote image sharing and viewing systems.

How do radiologists feel about utilizing GPT-4 in practice?

In recent years, there has been much talk of the potential for large language models to improve radiology workflows.

Nina Kottler, MD, Radiology Partners, offers overview of the U.S. AI regulatory landscape as government and radiologists work on ways to ensure artificial intelligence is not bias and works properly.

Overview of the regulatory landscape of AI in radiology

Nina Kottler, MD, associate CMO for clinical AI at Radiology Partners, explains the movement toward greater regulation of artificial intelligence and the need to test for bias.

GPT-4 helps ensure recommendations for additional imaging aren't overlooked in reports

Recommendations for additional imaging are routinely included in radiology reports but are sometimes overlooked or not communicated in a timely manner. Experts believe large language models can help address these lapses in care. 

GPT-4 can proofread radiology reports for a penny apiece

Researchers estimate that it could cost less than $0.01 per report to use the large language model as a radiology report proofreader.

Automated tracking helps leave no incidental finding behind

Radiology researchers have developed and validated an automated program for tracking incidental imaging findings. The system facilitates communications between radiologists, patients and primary care providers whenever such findings turn up.  

DL model identifies and segments lung tumors on CT scans.

Deep learning model halves lung tumor segmentation times

In a new clinical study, the model was able to maintain its performance on scans completed on different types of CT equipment across multiple medical centers.
