Artificial intelligence can move medical imaging into new realms of quality and efficiency by:
- Reducing the need for surgery: Mayo Clinic neuroradiologists are using AI to find genetic markers in MRI scans, helping to eliminate the need for intrusive brain surgery
- Enabling quick diagnosis: Stanford researchers have developed an artificial intelligence algorithm that can diagnose up to 14 types of medical conditions and is able to diagnose pneumonia off of medical images
- Empowering radiologists to access needed information: AI can review images, immediately identify potential findings and can call up information that the radiologist will need to evaluate patients such as:
• Prior reports
• Prior procedures
• Recent lab results
• Pathology reports that relate to specimens collected3
• Data and prior exams
• Pharmacy information
• Prior imaging exams
