Artificial and augmented intelligence are driving the future of medical imaging. Tectonic is the only way to describe the trend. And medical imaging is at the right place at the right time. Imaging stands to get better, stronger, faster and more efficient thanks to artificial intelligence, including machine learning, deep learning, convolutional neural networks and natural language processing.
One of the greatest ways AI can provide value to today’s radiologists is through improving day-to-day workflow and allowing them to be more efficient. Less time spent on more mundane tasks equals more time spent reading studies and helping patients.
The healthcare-focused artificial intelligence market is expected to see 50 percent growth through 2025, according to a report by MarketsandMarkets. The AI in healthcare market was valued at $2.1 billion in 2018. It is expected to grow to $36.1 billion by 2025, at a compound annual growth rate of 50.2 percent during the forecast period.
