Artificial intelligence can help analyze CT scans

Aidoc, a startup company pioneering the use of deep learning in radiology, announced on Wednesday the world's first comprehensive, full-body solution utilizing artificial intelligence to help analyze CT scans. Aidoc's solution will also highlight medical findings for radiologists, and the workflow-integrated solution offers support for radiologists covering areas such as the head, c-spine, chest, and abdomen. "Aidoc's differential approach positions them to overcome the challenging threshold for true adoption of AI (artificial intelligence - ed.) solutions by providing significant and clinically relevant value to the radiologist's practice, in respect to both efficiency and quality," University of Chicago School of Medicine Vice-Chairman of Radiology Informatics Paul J. Chang, M.D., FSIIM, said. AI-powered technology can have significant impact analyzing acute findings, where time and accuracy are essential. The Aidoc platform expands medical imaging analysis far beyond available solutions – which remain relatively specialized with limited application – extending the clinical value of AI to a major portion of radiologists' daily workload.
