Focus group seeks to guide quality of AI adoption - RAD Magazine

AXREM is the UK trade association representing the interests of suppliers of diagnostic medical imaging, radiotherapy, healthcare IT and care equipment in the UK. The group has formed the AXREM AI SFG (special focus group) to promote the adoption of beneficial AI technology and to identify and seek to overcome hurdles to adoption encountered by suppliers. Most recent AI solutions are based on a process of deep learning in which an artificial neural network is presented with annotated examples of a particular kind of pathology and gradually learns to recognise what that pathology looks like. This process is data dependent, and so the work of data scientists and curators is as important as the AI scientists and software engineers who develop the actual algorithms. A key part of developing safe and reliable AI solutions is the use of a representative dataset while performing the AI training.
