Dr. Wendaline VanBuren, a radiology chair at Mayo Clinic, thinks that AI is in the beginning stages of improving radiologists’ workflows. Some of the most developed radiology AI research projects at Mayo center on image segmentation and 3D printing, she said. In the future, she’s excited to see more tools that aid radiologists in triage and lesion measurement.
The AI tools that radiologists need the most are ones that integrate their workflows and make it easier to access past images, said Dr. Jocelyn Chertoff, radiology chair at Dartmouth Health. When adopting AI to address their workforce shortage, hospitals need to involve clinicians early-on in decisions about what new tools to implement, she also noted.
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement surrounding innovations in the medical field, Amazon Pharmacy Chief Medical Officer Dr. Vin Gupta noted.
