UCSF Launches Center for Intelligent Imaging to Accelerate AI Adoption in Radiology -

UC San Francisco (UCSF) announced the launch of the Center for Intelligence or ci2 that focuses on accelerating the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technology to radiology, leveraging advanced computational techniques and industry collaborations to improve patient diagnoses and care. As part of the center, Investigators in ci2 will collaborate with NVIDIA Corp to build infrastructure and tools focused on enabling the translation of AI into clinical practice. The Center is comprised of clinical radiologists, imaging scientists, engineers, machine learning scientists, data engineers, clinicians, post-doctoral fellows, and students collaborating to develop and deploy artificial intelligence that will solve critical clinical problems by advancing the way in which healthcare professionals are able to utilize and deliver imaging. Tools under development include organ and tissue segmentation, automated volumetry and morphological quantification, and disease visualization. NVIDIA engineers and data scientists will work alongside UCSF investigators to develop clinical AI tools, applying powerful computational resources that are available in a few medical institutions, with the goal of accelerating the AI development cycle and integrating it seamlessly in the clinic.
