5 key takeaways from a new report on AI, machine learning in radiology

Research firm Reaction Data has published a new report, "Machine Learning in Medical Imaging," that breaks down what radiologists and other imaging professionals think about AI, machine learning and the future of radiology. "The primary motivation behind this study is the sheer amount of hype going on in healthcare, specifically in radiology and imaging, around AI--deep learning and machine learning," the report's authors wrote. "In essence, the machine learning buzz is, quite literally, through the roof." Reaction Data received input from more than 130 industry professionals. While 45 percent of respondents were directors of radiology, another 20 percent were radiologists and 9 percent were imaging directors.
