AIIMS Uses AI to Speed Up X-ray Analysis
AIIMS in Delhi is using a new AI tool to read chest X-rays faster.
The tool, which is approved by the U.S. FDA, can generate reports in just 5-10 minutes.
This helps doctors identify problems quickly and prioritize patients who need urgent care.
The AI tool is very accurate, with a sensitivity of 99.7%.
However, all reports are still reviewed by human radiologists to ensure accuracy.
The tool is expected to reduce the workload on radiologists and improve patient care, especially during emergencies.
AIIMS plans to develop its own AI system in the future.
AIIMS in Delhi is using an AI tool to read chest X-rays and generate provisional reports within 5-10 minutes.
The AI tool, sourced from a Mumbai-based healthtech startup, has been approved by the U.S. FDA.
The tool helps prioritize patients based on urgency and reduces the workload on radiologists.
All AI-generated reports are reviewed by radiologists and clinicians before treatment begins.
The AI tool has a sensitivity of 99.7%, detecting nearly all abnormalities in chest X-rays.
