Artificial intelligence has wide applications in medical imaging for analyzing images. Deep learning is commonly used for tasks like automated detection, segmentation, and classification of lesions or abnormalities from medical images. While AI systems have achieved high accuracy in some narrow tasks like nodule detection, integrating AI safely into clinical practice poses challenges regarding data privacy, system transparency, and regulatory approval. Overall AI has potential to improve healthcare by making imaging interpretation more efficient and accurate, but careful management of technology and change is needed.

AI: definition
Intelligence
overt ability to
solve specific
problems and an
innate ability to
learn solutions for
new problems
AI
artificial entity
capable of solving
problems and
learning solutions
for new problems
AI seeks to improve computer systems until their
function is equal to, or greater than, that of a
human performing the same task
