If artificial intelligence can do good for struggling patients and help them avoid crippling medical debt, half of the Americans said they are in.
Artificial intelligence continues to permeate technologies that providers use. This week, it's helping to find relevant talent to improve data usage in care coordination and enhance signal-to-noise ratio in MRIs.
The Homeland Security agency points to 13 vulnerabilities with the networked medical imaging and archiving systems that should be patched now. One dark web research firm says the U.S. and Brazil have the most internet-exposed PACs.
Justin Ryan, director and research scientist in the Webster Foundation 3D Innovations Lab at Rady Children's Hospital, gives a deep dive on the creation and application of this complex tool made user-friendly for any provider.
Further, the health system's cardiac MRI services grew by 42% – which significantly improved access to specialized care for patients, says AdventHealth's VP of imaging services.
The deal, valued at $51 million, will bring more real-time image recognition technologies to GE's imaging portfolio, and could help hospitals with overburdened sonographers and radiology technologist shortages.
The American College of Radiology's ARCH-AI initiative is billed as the first-ever such framework, designed to help imaging providers deploy artificial intelligence more safely.
Using the technology can be daunting because it involves considerable time and careful results management – but augmenting it with AI image enhancement software has made a big difference for its radiologists.
Also, an approval management functionality has been added to NSW's real-time prescription monitoring platform.
