Week in review: AI adoption | Oncology-based imaging competition | Predictions for 2024

Dear AuntMinnie.com Member,

Widespread adoption of radiology AI technology has yet to be achieved, owing in large part to reimbursement issues; payors don’t reimburse providers for use of most types of medical imaging AI software due to a perceived lack of impact on patient outcomes.

In a column that was our most highly read article this week, Sanjay Parekh, PhD, of AI software developer Perspectum shared his thoughts on business cases for imaging AI.

Nonhospital sites are facing a more competitive environment for oncology-related imaging, according to an article from AuntMinnie.com’s sister company IMV Medical Information Division. You can access this week’s second-most viewed story by clicking here.

January is always a popular month for resolutions and predictions. Signify Research has offered its top 10 predictions for medical imaging in 2024, including five for imaging IT and AI and five for imaging modalities.

In other stories attracting the attention of AuntMinnie.com members, a multimodal AI model that combined data from mammography and ultrasound images as well as other characteristics yielded promising performance for predicting disease-free survival of patients with breast cancer.

Also, ChatGPT-4 delivered better results than ChatGPT-3.5 for assessing text-based medical imaging cases, according to a new study.
