A hospital in India has integrated AI into its radiology department. Imagine the possibilities!
AIIMS Radiodiagnosis Embraces AI Integration
The Department of Radiodiagnosis and Interventional Radiology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi, is undergoing a rapid transformation with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into its imaging practices (The Hindu). This strategic move comes amidst a significant surge in procedures, where total radiology investigations have more than doubled from 3,69,607 to 6,32,106 between 2019-20 and 2023-2024. Notably, ultrasound scans increased from 70,619 to 93,062; CT scans from 27,044 to 40,044; and MRI scans from 6,906 to 14,334 during the same period.
Enhancing Patient Care through AI Innovation
The surge in procedures underscores the growing demand for imaging services and the need for advanced technological solutions to enhance efficiency and patient care quality. AI integration at AIIMS, Delhi, marks a significant step forward in meeting these demands by leveraging cutting-edge tools to streamline processes and improve diagnostic accuracy.
Seamless Integration and Expanded Services
In addition to AI integration, the department has expanded its services to new blocks and centres, further enhancing accessibility and coverage. Deployment of the new RIS (radiology information system)-PACS (picture archive and communication system) system has facilitated seamless integration of imaging services across various hospital wings, significantly enhancing reporting efficiency and patient care quality.
