Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Radiology: A Reality Check

September 15, 2021

Course description

Current and near-future requirements and constraints will require radiology practices to continuously improve and to demonstrate the value they add to the healthcare enterprise. Merely "managing the practice" will not be sufficient – groups will be required to compete in an environment where the goal will be measurable improvements in efficiency, productivity, quality, and safety. There has been great interest (as well as fear and hype) regarding the application of deep learning and other artificial intelligence approaches to help improve the radiology value proposition. This session will attempt to provide a “reality check” on how these potentially promising technologies might be used by radiology and the significant challenges involved. This webinar will answer the following questions:

  • How can we best apply deep learning/artificial intelligence to add “true value?”
  • How do we confidently validate the performance of these technologies?
  • How can our existing IT systems “feed and consume” these technologies efficiently and at scale?
  • How can we best harmonize the human radiologist with these machine agents?

Learning objectives

At the conclusion of this learning activity, participants will be able to:

  • Describe a realistic perspective on how deep learning and artificial intelligence can add value to radiology
  • Summarize the challenges as they relate to the practical implementation of deep learning/artificial intelligence offerings into existing radiology workflow and IT infrastructure
  • Identify strategies for preparing the radiology and IT departments for deep learning/artificial intelligence
