I wrote my first article for Imaging Community Exchange (ICE) Magazine, “Will AI Replace Radiologist” for the January 1, 2020, issue.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is in healthcare systems and there has been a recent change to the post-deployment requirement from the FDA. My goal is to raise awareness of the requirements and help define roles for responsibility.
What topics will truly be the most talked about topic at RSNA 2025? The poll question was posted on LinkedIn. The results: AI 54%, Photon Counting CT 25%, Theranostics 15%, Hybrid Guided Therapies 4%, Other 1%.
This risk isn’t imaginary. Across the country, healthcare systems are experiencing a surge in what experts call the Internet of Medical Things, or IoMT. It includes everything from hospital monitors and insulin pumps to consumer smartwatches and home oxygen machines.
Virtual Radiologic (vRad), a teleradiology services practice, has announced the commercialization of The vRad Platform – a fully integrated, AI-enabled technology and support platform for radiology practices.
The reel on my social media automatically loaded after I watched a Go-Pro video my friend had posted. It was a famous actor, his golden voice familiar to millions, standing behind a podium. “He has discovered a new product to clear the lungs of excess fluid,” a caption read. It was presented as a major announcement from the press secretary of the United States. This was amazing news – that after a long career, the actor was turning his efforts to medical research.
In the rapidly evolving world of medical imaging, we’ve come to understand two distinct forms of AI. On one hand, there’s Generative AI – the powerful but passive assistant we’ve grown accustomed to. Great for summarizing data or drafting reports, but ultimately a tool that lacks the ability to execute complex workflows on its own.
Across the healthcare industry, MRI units often represent some of the most underleveraged and expensive assets on the balance sheet. While demand for diagnostic imaging grows, many health systems still operate with fragmented scheduling, underutilized scanners, and reactive operational strategies. This isn’t a technology gap – it’s a business optimization gap.
A researcher at a leading pharmaceutical company had spent decades billing clients thousands of dollars per hour for his research judgment. He once believed his most powerful tools were his instincts and a pen. But today, it’s a chat window.
