Essential Questions for Assessing Artificial Intelligence Vendors in Radiology
What are the key questions radiologists should ask when assessing artificial intelligence (AI) vendors? While the list can be long, one important question is ascertaining the volume and nature of the data used to develop and train a given AI algorithm, according to Sonia Gupta, MD, an abdominal radiologist, and chief medical officer at Change Healthcare. In a recent video interview, Dr. Gupta said knowing the volume of cases that went into the training of an AI model is an important consideration as is the diversity of that data in terms of factors such as age, gender, health issues and comorbidities to name a few. "All of those factors will influence the model training and ultimately the performance of that AI algorithm," noted Dr. Gupta, who lectured about AI at the recent Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) conference. "I encourage radiologists looking at potential AI vendors to dig into that information right off the bat."
