C-MIMI: Radiologists 'swarm' with AI to detect pneumonia
By Erik L. Ridley
Are radiologists and artificial intelligence (AI) better together than apart? The answer is yes, at least for diagnosing pneumonia on chest x-rays, according to research presented on Monday at the 2018 Conference on Machine Intelligence in Medical Imaging (C-MIMI) in San Francisco.
