AI Tool Revolutionizes Radiology at AIIMS Delhi
AIIMS Delhi has implemented an AI-based software to enhance radiology efficiency, generating preliminary chest X-ray reports in just 5 to 10 minutes. With approximately 1,000 X-rays conducted daily, this innovation addresses long-standing delays in report generation due to high diagnostic workloads. The FDA-approved technology uses deep learning algorithms to detect nodules and early abnormalities in lung, heart, and bone images.
Dr. Raju Sharma notes that the AI tool accelerates initial assessments, enabling clinicians to prioritize urgent cases. Although it significantly improves workflow, AI operates as a support system; all AI-generated findings undergo rigorous review by trained radiologists. AIIMS plans to develop its own AI system in the future, with ongoing monitoring to ensure diagnostic accuracy.
This advancement promises faster consultations for patients, particularly during emergencies, where it aids junior doctors by highlighting cases that require immediate attention. Stay updated for more developments in digital health news!
