The UC San Francisco Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging noted a significant milestone for both the department and the UCSF Center for Intelligent Imaging (ci2) – full deployment of an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled portable x-ray device into our clinical environment.
“This is the first example (with many to come) of AI algorithms developed by UCSF Radiology being used in production at UCSF for clinical care,” says John Mongan, MD, PhD, associate professor and associate chair for translational informatics at UCSF Radiology and director of translational informatics at the ci2.
In September 2019, UCSF announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance of a new AI algorithm that works with portable X-rays to rapidly screen for collapsed lung (pneumothorax). The technology was developed by GE Healthcare and UCSF researchers including Dr….
