Did you know that your radiology facility can get paid for using artificial intelligence (AI) as part of the interpretation of imaging scans?

In this rich dialogue between thoracic radiologist John Newell, MD, and VIDA CEO Susan Wood, PhD, the impact of AI in the midst of a global pandemic is explored. Dr. Newell and Dr. Wood discuss the evolving role of imaging for COVID-19 and the importance of a holistic, quantitative approach to managing patients with respiratory conditions. The two share COVID-19 case examples, as analyzed by VIDA's LungPrint solution, in a demonstration of several use cases. The exchange includes a reflection on how the imaging community has excelled in responding to COVID-19, and addresses important forward-looking opportunities for ongoing respiratory health management of both recovered COVID-19 patients and patient populations with other forms of lung and airway diseases.

To see the new trends in radiology in 2018, just take a look back at 2017. AI has come a long way; wearables have become every day, 3D printing has matured, and IoT is, well, meh. Where is Artificial Intelligence (AI) in radiology today? This year, AI is gaining in respect and stature among radiology professionals. Last year in Everything Rad, we reported that AI inspired a mixture of wonder and fear among the radiology community.
