Radiology Reimagined: AI, innovation and interoperability in practice

Radiology Reimagined: AI, innovation and interoperability in practice is an in-person demonstration that showcases new technologies and communication standards needed to integrate AI into the diagnostic radiology workflow.

Presented at the RSNA annual meeting, the demonstration uses real-world clinical scenarios and interoperability standards to demonstrate new tools and practice enhancements enabled by AI.

Scenario

Each demonstration follows a fictional patient through a real, clinical scenario involving both emergent and long-term care. It includes many steps in the radiology workflow where AI can assist the radiologist and improve the efficiency and quality of care.

The diagrams linked here give a visual overview of the flow of information among systems in a radiology practice with AI tools integrated: 

Standards foundation

Each demonstration shows how radiology systems can be integrated to efficiently include AI-based applications at key points in the workflow. This seamless integration relies on a set of interoperability standards, including: 

  • IHE AI Results specifies how results are stored, retrieved, and displayed.
  • IHE AI Workflow for Imaging specifies methods to request, manage, perform, and monitor imaging AI algorithms.
  • Interactive Multimedia Reporting provides ways to enhance radiology reports, for example, by adding hyperlinks to a specific image of interest described in the report text.
  • RadElement Common Data Elements (CDEs) provide standardized ways of representing observations made in the course of radiologic diagnosis.
  • HL7 FHIRcast synchronizes clinical applications (EHR, PACS, reporting systems, AI tools) to a given study or patient.

Inpatient vs Outpatient Lung Cancer Workup 
This video follows two patients who have lung cancer as well as some intracranial findings.

Trauma to Lung & Thyroid Nodules Team
This video follows a patient who fell and had a trauma and was found to have incidental lung and thyroid nodules.

Acute Dyspnea to Incidental Breast Mass
This video follows a patient who came into the ED with shortness of breath was found incidentally to have a breast mass that requires work up.
