AI in Diagnostics and Medical Imaging
Enhancing accuracy and efficiency in radiology and beyond
Current Deployments
- Diagnostic support systems are one of the most mature AI applications in European hospitals
- University Hospital Essen (Germany) has implemented six AI algorithms that automatically flag critical findings on medical scans
- LMU University Hospital Munich partnered with deepc to integrate multiple CE-marked AI solutions into radiology workflows
- AI systems for mammography and CT scans can detect subtle anomalies that might be missed by human readers
Impact and Benefits
- AI mammography tools demonstrate remarkable accuracy in early cancer detection, sometimes rivaling human radiologists
- Beyond radiology, AI is used in pathology (detecting cancerous cells) and cardiology (analyzing ECGs)
- These tools serve as a "second pair of eyes," triaging normal vs. abnormal findings
- Supporting earlier and more accurate diagnoses while reducing radiologist workload
- Acting as a safety net to catch critical findings that might otherwise be missed
