AI Firm Is Helping Radiologists Detect 20-different Pathologies Accurately

India faces a drastic shortage of radiologists with just one radiologist available for 100,000 people living in the country. In comparison, this ratio is one to 10,000 in the US. With such a shortage of qualified professionals in the field, radiologists tend to see hundreds of X-rays in a day making the process error-prone. DeepTek, a Pune-based health-tech firm, has created an AI-based platform, Augmento, that assists radiologists to make faster and accurate diagnoses through X-rays for 20 different pathologies. To understand how the platform works and the advantage it provides in terms of making accurate diagnoses using AI in radiology, Analytics India Magazine caught up with Viraj Kulkarni, Principal Data Scientist at DeepTek.
