About the webinar
According to a report “The Digital Universe Driving Data Growth in Healthcare,” published by EMC with research and analysis from IDC, Hospitals are producing 50 petabytes of data per year. Almost 90% of this data is comprised of medical imaging i.e. digital images from scans like MRIs or CTs. More than 97% of this data goes unanalyzed or unused.
The top healthcare institutions across the globe are adopting AI in medical imaging to increase speed and imaging accuracy, monitor data in real-time, and eliminate the need for humans to do time-consuming and complex tasks. This has been enabling doctors to optimize treatment approaches, speed of care, and interconnected health conditions.
Through this webinar, you will understand how AI can be used to automate routine processes and procedures and help radiologists to identify patterns, and help in treating patients with critical conditions quickly.
What you will learn:
- How healthcare institutions are leveraging AI to augment decision making, prevent medical errors, and reduce costs in medical imaging
- Discuss the approach to automate machine learning workflow, creating and deploying models in hours, not weeks or months
- Demo: How to detect pneumonia from chest x-rays using AI within a few minutes using skyl.ai

machines, CT scanners, and x-
rays is difficult and time

Data

prone data
11. Machine Learning and Computer vision
Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides
systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without
being explicitly programmed.
Computer vision is the branch of machine learning specializing in how
computers “see” photos and videos.
Hence, Medical imaging is treated as Computer Vision
problems in the AI world
Hence, Medical imaging is treated as Computer Vision problem in
the AI world
12. Handle large volume of Data
● Learn automatically from previous diagnosis and continuously improve
● Streamline and automate the repetitive tasks
Faster processing to aid human experts
● Identify features in images quickly and precisely
● Aid human experts to be more efficient and focus on value-add areas
Eliminate human errors
Machine Learning to the rescue!
14. Analysing Brain
anomalies
As per ACR DSI - Manual segmentation and
quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM)
assessments of the motor cortex are
necessary, difficult, and time consuming.
Machine Learning can flag images that
offer risk ratios that the images contain
evidence of ALS or PLS, populate reports
and streamline the process
15. Identifying Fractures &
Musculoskeletal injury
Fractures contribute to long-term, chronic
pain if not treated quickly and correctly
AI can help in identifying hard-to-see
fractures, dislocations, or soft tissue injuries
helping doctors to avoid misdiagnosis
16. Detecting cardiovascular
abnormalities
Measuring various structures of the heart to
reveal an individual’s risk for cardiovascular
abnormality
Computer Vision can help in Cardiac
segmentation ( coronary CT angiography,
artery diameter segmentations, Ventricle
segmentation etc) that helps heart surgeons
to be minimally invasive in diagnosis and
treatments
17. Detecting COVID-19 from
Chest X-Ray
Radiology images are used to segment COVID-
19 from conditions like pneumonia.
X-ray readings may resemble community
acquired pneumonia (bacterial) or other
respiratory infections.
An X-ray will show formations in the lung that
are associated with a number of respiratory
conditions including pneumonia.
AI can detect patterns specific to COVID-19
to provide accurate diagnosis.

Use images and expand the points
Automating the detection of abnormalities in commonly-ordered imaging tests, such as chest x-rays, could lead to quicker decision-making and fewer diagnostic errors.
For example, when a patient enters the emergency department with a complaint such as shortness of breath, “the chest radiograph is often the first imaging study that is available,” ACR DSI says.
“It can be used as a quick initial screening tool for cardiomegaly, which in and of itself can be used as a marker for heart disease. A quick visual assessment by a radiologist is sometimes inaccurate.”
3. Pneumonia and pneumothorax are two conditions that require quick reactions from providers. Both may also be prime targets for artificial intelligence algorithms.
Pneumonia, either acquired in the community or after a medical procedure, can be life threatening if left untreated. Radiology images are often used to diagnose pneumonia and distinguish the condition from other lung conditions, such as bronchitis.
Yet radiologists may not always be available to read images – and even if radiologists are present, they may have difficulty identifying pneumonia if the patient has pre-existing lung conditions, such as malignancies or cystic fibrosis.
In addition, “subtle pneumonias, such as those projecting below the dome of the diaphragms on front chest radiographs, can easily be overlooked and lead to unnecessary CT scans, which AI could help reduce,” ACR DSI says.
An AI algorithm could assess x-rays and other images for evidence of opacities that indicate pneumonia, then alert providers to the potential diagnoses to allow for speedier treatment.
4. Fractures and musculoskeletal injuries can contribute to long-term, chronic pain if not treated quickly and correctly.
Injuries such as hip fractures in elderly patients are also tied to poor overall outcomes due to reductions in mobility and associated hospitalizations.
Using artificial intelligence to identify hard-to-see fractures, dislocations, or soft tissue injuries could allow surgeons and specialists to be more confident in their treatment choices.
Images obtained by MRI machines, CT scanners, and x-rays, as well as biopsy samples, allow clinicians to see the inner workings of the human body. However, these images often contain large amounts of complex data that can be difficult and time consuming for human providers to evaluate.
