About 80% of all FDA-approved healthcare AI applications are related to radiology — but due to a massive workforce shortage, radiologists don't have the time to explore, choose, validate and implement the tools available to them. Some providers are using a radiology AI marketplace called CARPL to address this problem, including Massachusetts General Hospital and University Hospitals.
Private equity is a way to help achieve scale. Groups that use scale to better serve the stakeholders that matter most, including radiologists, hospitals, referring physicians and—most importantly—patients, will be best positioned to not just survive, but thrive.
At RSNA, three major trends stood out: the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), a renewed focus on health equity, and a dedicated effort to enhance the patient experience.
