Shaping the Future of Radiology – How Deep Learning will enable diagnosticians to be more productive, quantitative and precise

Learn how GE Healthcare is working with leading organizations to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) to shape the future of radiology. In support of these goals, GE Healthcare’s mission is to deliver a portfolio of AI algorithms that enable the realization of three key operational and clinical outcomes considered of value to our customers. In the context of the radiologist themselves, these next generation tools will make radiologists more:

1. Productive: Through the automation and prioritization of tasks and data feeds
2. Quantitative: By providing applications and tools to semi-automatically or automatically extract and quantify information
3. Precise: By ensuring the right information is available, filtered and presented to support the diagnosis, as well as ensuring the repeatability of any quantification processes
