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.

Charles E. Kahn, Jr., MD, MS, editor of the the RSNA journal Radiology: Artificial Intelligence, and professor and vice chair of radiology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. He discusses the need to validate artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms with your own patient population to determine if it is accurate for a specific institutions patients. He also explains how bias can be inadvertently added into a algorithm, and how the AI may take learning shortcuts. #AI
