THE artificial intelligence It has ceased to be a futuristic idea and has become a tool present in the daily life of medicine. Its impact is notable, particularly in areas such as diagnostic imagingwhere it represents a transformation in every sense, as it helps radiologists make more accurate and faster diagnoses, by automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks. This is decisive, since This allows the specialist to devote their efforts to more critical tasks, optimizing decision-making and providing greater patient safety.
The Innovation Committee of the IDIS Foundation (Institute for the Development and Integration of Healthcare) organized a session during which Cardiva presented the company’s new artificial intelligence proposals to improve workflows. medical imaging diagnosis, with the participation of Carlos Ibares, director of Cardiva; Gorka Gallardo, CEO of Raindance, and Ignacio Pascual, director of interventional cardiology at Cardiva.
During the session, they presented an artificial intelligence solution comprising up to 25 algorithms, covering everything from stroke, pulmonary embolism, cardiac ultrasound or aortic aneurysm, up to breast or prostate cancer. ORA solution that represents a significant advance in the field of medical imaging and offers the possibility of perfecting diagnosis and increasing patient safetyas well as an increase in productivity. So, for example, they explained its effectiveness in the automatic detection of X-ray fractures (saving up to 20% in report reading time), its analysis of mammograms for the early detection of breast cancer or the analysis advanced vascular images. magnetic resonance and tomography.
On the other hand, they explained the advantages of HeartFlow FFRct Analysis, a software based on non-invasive intracoronary diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease (the leading cause of death worldwide), through coronary CT scanning. This non-invasive tool allows us to identify the most appropriate treatment for each patient.
Marta Villanueva, general director of the IDIS Foundation, He assured that “the immersion of artificial intelligence in the medical field has allowed us to improve the quality of care offered to patients. Thanks to its potential – he added – not only has the accuracy of diagnoses and treatments been optimized, but waiting times and hospital management have also been reduced, among other aspects.
