Summary
The Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University is establishing the Center for Computational and AI-enabled Imaging Sciences in collaboration with the McKelvey School of Engineering. This center aims to develop advanced AI tools for medical imaging that can improve the diagnosis and treatment of various conditions, such as cancers and neurological disorders, by identifying patterns that may be overlooked by human observers. Key projects include tools for breast cancer risk assessment and neurosurgical planning, which will not only enhance diagnostic precision but also provide training for healthcare professionals. The initiative highlights the growing importance of AI in radiology, suggesting significant potential improvements in patient outcomes through enhanced diagnostic accuracy and treatment personalization.
