“it will assist with better patient care and outcomes. It should increase the accuracy of findings with Imaging procedures and help in obtaining a correct diagnosis.”
"...I strongly believe it will drastically change the future of radiology, the new radiologist will have a job more focus on specific or complex analysis of cases rather than detection which remains still today a large volume of the work we do... No one should fight that change which is welcome for a better care I think. We just need to adapt and adjust.”
"Cost of adopting new AI tech will be key. If the investment cost can be easily recouped with uptick in efficiency and throughput then more people will adopt it. Also, will have to be easy/user friendly as many older physicians struggle with new technology."
Given that breast imaging is the top clinical use case area, by far, it’s not too surprising that iCAD and Hologic are the top vendors mentioned as supplying AI algorithms to hospitals. It will be interesting to see if the standalone VC-backed AI players can make further inroads.
“It is difficult to judge the competitive landscape. There are many companies that offer similar AI products and it is hard to determine which one to invest in for a particular clinical application. It also seems unlikely that many of the AI specific companies will survive long-term in this competitive environment.”
Simply put, AI is the present and the future. It’s a proven technological advancement that has emerged in every industry and has quickly made its way into healthcare (specifically medical imaging). More and more algorithms are developed every month with increased applicability and efficacy. After years of doing research on this topic, it’s become obvious that AI is not going to replace radiologists (or almost any other clinician for that matter) but what it will do is help these clinicians perform, many of their critical job functions, better.
Radiology is the early adopter of technology of healthcare. Need proof? The majority (73%) of holdouts in adopting speech recognition have plans to finally take the plunge.
We received a tremendous response from physicians in a wide variety of specialties. Regardless of their discipline, all are frustrated to one extent or another. Here are the top reasons physicians are reaching the end of their tethers.
In concert with BYU’s Department of Public Health we conducted in-depth research with provider organizations across the country on social determinants of health (SDoH).
