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, especially in areas such as diagnostic imagingwhere it represents a transformation in every sense, because it helps radiologists make more precise and faster diagnoses, by automating repetitive tasks that take a long time. This is decisive, since It allows the specialist to dedicate their efforts to more critical tasks, optimizing decision making and offering greater patient safety.
The Innovation Committee of the IDIS Foundation (Institute for the Development and Integration of Healthcare) has hosted a session in which Cardiva has presented the Company’s new artificial intelligence proposals to improve diagnostic flows in medical imaging, which has 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 showed an artificial intelligence solution that includes up to 25 algorithms, covering everything from stroke, pulmonary embolism, cardiac ultrasound or aortic aneurysm, 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 increasing productivity. Thus, for example, they explained its effectiveness in the automatic detection of fractures in x-rays (saving up to 20% of time in reading the report), its analysis of mammograms for the early detection of breast cancer or advanced vascular analysis in images magnetic resonance and tomography.
On the other hand, they explained the benefits of HeartFlow FFRct Analysis, a software based on non-invasive intracoronary diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease (the main cause of death worldwide), through coronary CT. 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 precision in diagnoses and treatments been optimized, but waiting times and hospital management have also been reduced, among other aspects.”
