In July 2018, Guerbet and IBM announced their decision to collaborate on developing AI software for liver cancer diagnostics. Their latest agreement is geared toward developing a tool that uses AI to detect, segment, characterize, and monitor prostate lesions on MRI scans over time.

The two companies aim to have their AI tool support radiologists and oncologists not only in diagnosing prostate cancer as early as possible but also in deciding on the most appropriate therapeutic strategy.

They also plan to make the AI tool compatible with most PACS for direct integration into existing workflows.

ChatGPT powered by GPT-4 and using DALL-E−3 was asked to generate an image for teaching purposes that demonstrated: a nuclear medicine bone scan with skeletal metastases (top left); coronary artery disease (top right); an F-18 FDG-PET scan of the brain with Alzheimer's disease (bottom left); and an x-ray showing a fracture (bottom right). These are misleading for educational purposes and for patients who may be searching for information. Image and caption courtesy of Radiography.
