Applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnostic radiology: a technography study

Although a lot of developments are made in the area of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology and the number of publications is ever-increasing, the adoption in clinical practice still seems to lag behind and is limited to a small number of tools. To analyze this situation, we conducted a so-called technographic study. In this study, we identified 269 AI applications

Challenges and solutions for introducing artificial intelligence (AI) in daily clinical workflow

We are living in the hype about artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology. Many publications have proven that AI is able to support image analysis with its excellent pattern recognition. It has the potential to augment the radiologist by helping to analyse the increasingly complex data we are confronted with in our daily work. However, to make AI happen in our

The cost of AI in radiology: is it really worth it?

How much do you need to spend to use artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology? Between software, hardware and infrastructure, expenses can add up quickly. And without a reimbursement scheme, it takes more than just money to advance the field. One last price to pay could well be AI’s impact on the environment, as training a single algorithm emits a significant

AI is a means, not a goal

Artificial intelligence (AI) software solutions developed for radiology are increasingly focused on answering precise clinical questions, rather than just detecting lesions. This is the most noticeable trend in medical imaging AI, which continues to bring new products to the market with clockwork regularity. Whether it feeds on machine or deep learning, AI in radiology really boils down to one thing:

What the increasing presence of AI means for radiographers

In an age of uncertainty with the arrival of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and technologies in the healthcare field, many in the industry question how the addition of AI will impact their careers. One particular area is not immune to these changes: radiography. We spoke with Dr. Nick Woznitza, a reporting radiographer at Homerton University Hospital and a clinical academic

Zooming in on AI-Based Image Interpretation

While the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology eases workflows, it may also lead to a better and more precise understanding of disease. Predicting the course of cancer from imaging data could become a part of the clinical routine in the next few years. Many experts believe that the increasing use of AI in radiology will fundamentally change the

AI can reduce reading times and improve reader performance in breast and chest

Tools using artificial intelligence (AI) for medical imaging can help detect and classify lesions in an increasing number of clinical applications. In breast and chest imaging, algorithms can now significantly expedite workflow and improve cancer risk prediction, two experts explained during the ESR AI Premium meeting earlier this month in Barcelona, Spain. Breast cancer screening Breast cancer (BC) screening with

AI-assisted Multi-Organ Image Interpretation

Advertorial The broader implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) will be based on versatile systems that can be seamlessly integrated into existing workflows and IT architectures. Assessing multiple anatomical structures and organs on a chest CT more quickly and precisely would be one strategy to make AI support a self-evident aspect of image interpretation. A crucial prerequisite for advancing the implementation

Responsible introduction of AI will help unleash its full potential

A myriad of tools is being created that use AI for medical imaging, but the community needs to be sure that the technology also works in clinical practice. This is only possible if AI is introduced in a responsible way, according to Wiro Niessen, a professor in Biomedical Image Analysis at Erasmus MC, Rotterdam and Delft University of Technology, and
