The road to radiology’s AI adoption runs through workflow integration – Radiology Today
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the power to augment radiologists’ work and achieve goals, but access to that power requires new approaches to radiology workflow design. Broad provider adoption will require integrating AI into clinical workflows. Current workflows and user interfaces will need to be rethought and adapted to the ways AI interacts with patient image data and delivers insights. Read the news release to learn how Carestream has integrated AI to help improve radiology workflow.
