#32 - Accelerating radiology with AI - Amine Korchi - Radiologist

Impulse - Meeting Healthcare Pioneers

Radiology is the field of medicine that has experienced some of the most dramatic technological changes over the past decades.

And given the record number of approvals for AI-based and machine-learning tools dedicated to radiology in Europe and the US (far ahead of all other medical specialties combined!), this trend is unlikely to slow down.

Such rapid evolution can be attributed to the abundance of imaging data from clinical practice, and it already has a huge impact on the way radiologists work and care for patients.

Faster workflows, enhanced diagnostic accuracy, and better informed clinical decisions…

As we enter the era of multimodal AI models capable of simultaneously interpreting volumes of data from different formats (such as voice notes, images, videos, texts, etc.), we can only expect this evolution to accelerate even more in the coming months and years.

As we seek to understand this transformation, we sit down with Amine Korchi, a Swiss radiologist, entrepreneur, investor, and renowned advocate for technological progress in radiology.

In this eye-opening episode, Amine offers us a rich perspective on:

• the evolution of medical imaging, from static 2D images, through dynamic 3D, to AI
• the impact of AI on the training of physicians and their specialization
• current use cases of AI in radiology and their impact on patient care
• the barriers to its adoption and the fears AI raises among radiologists
• future developments of AI in radiology and their promises

An episode to help us understand one of the major technological revolutions in medicine - and one we're far from seeing the end of!
