Our ethos is to tailor this to a close and ever evolving understanding of workflow on the ground. We can also ensure an AI app is integrated into the picture archiving and communication system (PACS), where radiologists spend 80 per cent of their working lives, before it is even procured. But in essence, for the most part, AI should be invisible to the user. Whilst AI will not replace our professionals and for the foreseeable future a human will always need to remain in the loop in delivering diagnoses, most of the time our professionals shouldn’t even notice it is there. If you are using an AI application that measures lung lesions – only scans that meet these criteria should be forwarded on to the AI, and should be sent automatically, without the need for human intervention. The AI can then run its analytics in the background and push results back to the PACS to alert
By using the imaging technology system provider as the point of coordination for imaging AI acquisition, more thought can be put into standardisation and maintaining user control over how images are displayed on screen for professionals the professional to urgent cases and to help them prioritise and improve the quality and efficiency of their work.
HB: And how can vendors help their customers adopt new and emerging advances? SC: The growth in AI continues at pace. We as technology partners have a responsibility
to help hospitals acquire the best applications to meet their needs. This is not about what AI Sectra can develop, for instance. It is about providing a channel in which the fantastic innovation emerging can reach those working hard to support the frontline of healthcare. L FURTHER INFORMATION medical.sectra.com
