What Will Happen When Artificial Intelligence Comes to Radiology May 2. Paging HAL What Will Happen When Artificial Intelligence Comes to Radiology By Dave Yeager Radiology Today. Vol. 1. 7 No. 5 P. Introduction to the DICOM standard. Includes open source Windows freeware DICOM viewer. Applications. DICOM is used worldwide to store, exchange, and transmit medical images. DICOM has been central to the development of modern radiological imaging DICOM. Datica removes the barriers to digital health through compliant infrastructure and scalable data exchange. The myth of Hephaestus golden handmaidens illustrates mankinds centuries long fascination with artificial intelligence AI. The god of the forge created his handmaidens, who could talk and perform even the most difficult tasks, to assist him in his labors, and many people have since speculated about the possible uses of AI and the forms it might take. More recently, noted scientists and futurists, such as Ray Kurzweil Stephen Hawking, CH, CBE, FRS, FRSA and Elon Musk, have discussed, debated, and dissected the possibilities and pitfalls of AI. With many AI advances coming in the past few years, some people are beginning to wonder whether it will eventually replace radiologists. There have been so many strides made in pattern recognition and speech recognition. Weve gone from debates about whether the computer would ever be able to handle speech recognition, which it can do surprisingly well now, to debates about whether a computer could ever beat a grandmaster or the world champion human at chess or the even more challenging board game Go, and it happened, says Eliot L. Siegel, MD, FSIIM, FACR, a professor and vice chair of research informatics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, an adjunct professor of computer science at the University of Maryland, and chief of radiology and nuclear medicine at the VA Maryland Health Care System in Baltimore. So many of these tasks that were once assumed to require human thinking, including interpreting image information, are now falling by the wayside because of advances in AI.

There has also recently been an incredible increase, outside of the medical imaging world, in large and small organizations looking at extracting information from images. Siegel, who participated in one of the first research studies that used IBMs Jeopardy Deep. QA system for medical analyses, says people often ask him what AI means for radiology.

Annual Meeting, he will deliver the closing Dwyer Lecture and an accompanying session on the topic. The session will look at AIs history and current applications and attempt to separate hype from reality. Later this year at RSNA 2. Siegel will debate Bradley J. Erickson, MD, Ph. D, a professor of radiology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, about whether AI will replace radiologists within the next 2. He hasnt yet decided which side hell argue, but one thing seems clear Whatever preconceived notions people may have about it, AI is currently sitting on radiologys doorstep. Shall We Play a Game People often associate AI with self awareness. Popular movies, such as 1. A Space Odyssey, 1. Blade Runner, and 2. Ex Machina, have contributed to this conception. In reality, we may be decades away from machines that recognize themselves, but another important aspect of AI is the ability to learn this is often referred to as machine learning. In this regard, computing has come a long way. People may remember IBMs Deep Blue, the computer that defeated chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov in 1. Although that was an impressive feat, a newer supercomputer has done something even more impressive In March, Google Deep. Minds Alpha. Go defeated Lee Sedol, a 9th level grandmaster and one of the worlds top Go players, in a best of five match. The final score was 4 to 1. Why is Alpha. Gos accomplishment more impressive than Deep BluesChess has more rules and fewer possible move combinations than Go. Because of these constraints, Deep Blue was able to analyze millions of potential combinations and their outcomes, a tactic known as brute force calculation. Gos sheer number of possible move combinations makes it impossible for any current generation of computer to analyze every possible scenario. Along with strategic thinking, Go players often rely on experience and intuition, which is why many people assumed that it would take many more years before a machine could defeat a human. Aus Heiterem Himmel Staffel 4. To solve the problem of Gos variability, Alpha. Gos programmers used a programming method called deep learning. Deep learning relies on neural networks that are more similar to human thought processes than traditional computing, according to a 2. Silver et al in the journal Nature. Rather than attempting to map out every possible move combination, deep learning uses a sample of datalarge but finiteand, with some fine tuning by humans, draws conclusions from that sample. In the case of Alpha. Go, the computer was then able to simulate millions of games and incorporate that knowledge into its decision making. Radiologys Handmaidens. Many people have suggested that bringing this type of machine learning to medical care could be helpful for identifying critical medical conditions sooner this would potentially allow for earlier intervention and better outcomes. Which brings us back to radiology. Because humans vary, radiological images present a nearly endless variety of medical conditions, which radiologists need to identify correctly, based on strategic thinking, experience, and intuition. But what if machine learning algorithms could be applied to radiological images In some cases, they can. Tools that use AI are beginning to find their way to the marketplace. Enlitic is one of the companies using deep learning to enhance radiology tasks. They have developed a lung nodule detector that they claim is able to achieve positive predictive values that are 5. As the detection model analyzes images, it learns from those images. It not only finds lung nodules, it also provides a probability score for malignancy. Enlitic is now conducting a trial on a model that detects wrist fractures. Igor Barani, MD, Enlitics CMO, says as many as 3. The model is being trained to find the fractures on X ray images and overlay a heat map to highlight their location within a conventional PACS viewer. To test the technologys effectiveness, the trial presents multiple radiologists with images that are either annotated with heat maps or not. The radiologists evaluate each image twice, in random order, to check accuracy. We have some very promising early results, Barani says. We are actually broadening the scope of this project, beyond just fracture detection, with the specific goal of rolling out a clinical application in the summer. The clinical application will encompass X ray, CT, and possibly MRI and search for a variety of medical conditions. Enlitic is working to incorporate ACR guidelines into it. They are also exploring treatment planning and treatment recommendation applications. Barani says the long term goal is to build a neural network that can evaluate the entire body and detect any pathologic state, as well as variations of normal anatomy, while integrating patient specific factors genomic, clinical, and imaging data and other data that can assist physicians in making informed treatment decisions. Medical providers are looking into the possibilities of deep learning as well. In 2. 01. 5, teleradiology provider v. Rad partnered with AI software company Meta. Mind to identify key radiology elements associated with critical medical conditions. Because emergency departments EDs constitute a large part of v.
