Summary
The Hoag Innovators Fund has invested in incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into the radiology department at Hoag to enhance the accuracy and speed of diagnostics in CT imaging. Through a partnership with Aidoc, an AI specialist in lesion detection, the radiology team implemented five algorithms designed to identify specific pathologies on CT scans and developed tools for immediate notification of care teams about critical findings. Since July 2022, this initiative has reviewed 105,000 imaging studies, identified over 4,400 studies with positive findings, and equipped 80 workstations with Aidoc's technology, significantly improving the delivery of urgent treatments by enabling rapid diagnosis and communication.
