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.

GPT-4 helps ensure recommendations for additional imaging aren't overlooked in reports

Recommendations for additional imaging are routinely included in radiology reports but are sometimes overlooked or not communicated in a timely manner. Experts believe large language models can help address these lapses in care. 

GPT-4 can proofread radiology reports for a penny apiece

Researchers estimate that it could cost less than $0.01 per report to use the large language model as a radiology report proofreader.
