"Intelligent Imaging" Hub will harness computational tools in medical imaging to improve patient care. UC San Francisco is launching a new center to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology to radiology, leveraging advanced computational techniques and industry collaborations to improve patient diagnoses and care. The Center for Intelligent Imaging, or ci2, will develop and apply AI to devise powerful new ways to look inside the body and to evaluate health and disease. Investigators in ci2 will team with Santa Clara, California-based NVIDIA Corp., an industry leader in AI computing, to build infrastructure and tools focused on enabling the translation of AI into clinical practice.

UC San Francisco is upping its research into advanced computing in healthcare, launching an artificial intelligence center specifically to advance its use in medical imaging. The Center for Intelligent Imaging will develop and apply artificial intelligence in the quest to find new ways to use radiology to look inside the body and to evaluate health and disease. UCSF investigators in the center will work with Santa Clara, Calif-based NVIDIA, which develops AI products to support infrastructure and tools. The collaboration will aim to create new ways to enable the translation of AI into clinical practice. "Artificial intelligence represents the next frontier for diagnostic medicine," says Christopher Hess, MD, chair of UCSF's Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging.

UC San Francisco (UCSF) announced the launch of the Center for Intelligence or ci2 that focuses on accelerating the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technology to radiology, leveraging advanced computational techniques and industry collaborations to improve patient diagnoses and care. As part of the center, Investigators in ci2 will collaborate with NVIDIA Corp to build infrastructure and tools focused on enabling the translation of AI into clinical practice. The Center is comprised of clinical radiologists, imaging scientists, engineers, machine learning scientists, data engineers, clinicians, post-doctoral fellows, and students collaborating to develop and deploy artificial intelligence that will solve critical clinical problems by advancing the way in which healthcare professionals are able to utilize and deliver imaging. Tools under development include organ and tissue segmentation, automated volumetry and morphological quantification, and disease visualization. NVIDIA engineers and data scientists will work alongside UCSF investigators to develop clinical AI tools, applying powerful computational resources that are available in a few medical institutions, with the goal of accelerating the AI development cycle and integrating it seamlessly in the clinic.
