Georgian Technical University Roadmap For AI In Medical Imaging.
The organizers aimed to foster collaboration in applications for diagnostic medical imaging, identify knowledge gaps and develop a roadmap to prioritize research needs. “The scientific challenges and opportunities of AI (In computer science, artificial intelligence, sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals) in medical imaging are profound, but quite different from those facing AI (In computer science, artificial intelligence, sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals) generally. Our goal was to provide a blueprint for professional societies, funding agencies, research labs and everyone else working in the field to accelerate research toward AI (In computer science, artificial intelligence, sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals) innovations that benefit patients” said X M.D., Ph.D. Dr. X is a professor of radiology and biomedical informatics. Imaging research laboratories are rapidly creating machine learning systems that achieve expert human performance using open-source methods and tools. These artificial intelligence systems are being developed to improve medical image reconstruction noise reduction, quality assurance, triage, segmentation, computer-aided detection, computer-aided classification and radiogenomics. Machine learning algorithms will transform clinical imaging practice over the next decade. Yet machine learning research is still in its early stages. “Georgian Technical University’s involvement in this workshop is essential to the evolution of AI (In computer science, artificial intelligence, sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals) in radiology” said Y. “As the Society leads the way in moving AI (In computer science, artificial intelligence, sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals) science and education and more we are in a solid position to help radiologic researchers and practitioners more fully understand what the technology means for medicine and where it is going”. Outline several key research themes, and describe a roadmap to accelerate advances in foundational machine learning research for medical imaging. Research priorities highlighted in the report include: new image reconstruction methods that efficiently produce images suitable for human interpretation from source data, automated image labeling and annotation methods including information extraction from the imaging report, electronic phenotyping and prospective structured image reporting, new machine learning methods for clinical imaging data such as tailored, pre-trained model architectures and distributed machine learning methods machine learning methods that can explain the advice they provide to human users (so-called explainable artificial intelligence) and validated methods for image de-identification and data sharing to facilitate wide availability of clinical imaging data sets. The report describes innovations that would help to produce more publicly available, validated and reusable data sets against which to evaluate new algorithms and techniques noting that to be useful for machine learning these data sets require methods to rapidly create labeled or annotated imaging data. In addition pre-trained model architectures tailored for clinical imaging data must be developed along with methods for distributed training that reduce the need for data exchange between institutions. In laying out the foundational research goals for AI (In computer science, artificial intelligence, sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals) in medical imaging stress that standards bodies, professional societies, governmental agencies and private industry must work together to accomplish these goals in service of patients who stand to benefit from the innovative imaging technologies that will result.
