Three Benefits to Deploying Artificial Intelligence in Radiology Workflows

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the capability to provide radiologists with tools to improve their productivity, decision making and effectiveness and will lead to quicker diagnosis and improved patient outcomes. It will initially deploy as a diverse collection of assistive tools to augment, quantify and stratify the information available to the diagnostician, and offer a major opportunity to enhance and augment the radiology reading. It will improve access to medical record information and give radiologists more time to think about what is going on with patients, diagnose more complex cases, collaborate with patient care teams, and perform more invasive procedures. Deep Learning algorithms in particular will form the foundation for decision and workflow support tools and diagnostic capabilities. Algorithms will provide software the ability to "learn" by example on how to execute a task, then automatically execute those tasks as well as interpret new data.
