Talking about the normal MRI scanners, they take a lot of time so as to carry out a scan session. Clinicians keep spending up to an hour collecting enough data for a diagnostic MRI examination, which consumes too much of a hospital’s demanding schedule.
Rapid MRI scans generated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be just as accurate, useful and reliable as traditional magnetic resonance imaging, shows a study by Facebook AI researchers and NYU Langone Health.
To make the scanning process quicker for the patients, Facebook AI and NYU Langone Health announced a major research milestone that could significantly improve the patient experience, expand access to MRIs, and potentially enable new use-cases for MRIs.
For the study, radiologists reviewed two sets of knee MRIs from 108 patients — one set using the standard imaging techniques and the other set using the fastMRI AI model.
The results, published in the American Journal of Roentgenology, found no significant differences in the radiologists’ evaluations.
The modern world has rapidly embraced the idea of introducing advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence in every domain. The immense features and benefits this technology possess has made it the new trial tool in the healthcare sector.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is seen as the real boon for the twenty-first century regardless of any field it has its application in. Defining AI in simple words, it is the evolution of intelligent machines that respond and function similar to human brain or intelligence. Talking about its possible and implemented applications among tech, education, gaming, retail, domestic appliances, defense, banking, finance, and many others; healthcare has always been on the quest for discovering something extraordinary and moreover, something that aid mankind to find the optimum solution for the lethal diseases.
In the case of high severity risk, identifying first followed by the monitoring of the patients can allow hospitals prioritize the treatment plan and care by allocating the resources. Moreover, the discomfort associated with the traditional MRI scanning procedure has pushed the giants like Facebook to intervene and thus come up with a patient friendly novel solution
