Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a crucial component of healthcare to help augment physicians and make them more efficient. In medical imaging, it is helping radiologists more efficiently manage PACS worklists, enable structured reporting, auto detect injuries and diseases, and to pull in relevant prior exams and patient data. In cardiology, AI is helping automate tasks and measurements on imaging and in reporting systems, guides novice echo users to improve imaging and accuracy, and can risk stratify patients. AI includes deep learning algorithms, machine learning, computer-aided detection (CAD) systems, and convolutional neural networks.

AI at UCSD accurately diagnoses eye diseases, pneumonia

Researchers at University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that may improve how potentially blinding eye diseases are diagnosed through scanning retinal images, according to a recent article by The San Diego Union-Tribune.  

Should AI creators be more paranoid and aware of cybersecurity?

Artificial intelligence (AI) allows us to unlock an iPhone with our face or use speech recognition to check email, but a recent study warns tech workers creating AI need to be more cognizant of the moral implications of their work.
