Amazing stuff. Even without AI, I have increasingly received human interpreted radiology reports in which calcifications and atherosclerosis are reported as incidental findings on x-rays and CT scans, which for me prompts a more aggressive conversation about risk reduction with my patients.
This is all rolling out so fast it will be difficult for physicians to keep up, we need a central AI continuing medical education resource. Are there any? (In addition to you Dr Topol 😉)
Impressive! I imagine that in a few years, simple, inexpensive, and commonly ordered tests like CXR, chest CT, ECG, and CBC could offer significantly more secondary analytical and predictive insights. And, it would be prudent to assume that this information will be interchangeable between modalities (proven noninferiority among modalities), and reviewing recent tests would be sufficient for assessing these risks rather than ordering new ones or using conventional risk tools.

Just plain WOW from a data scientist.

What good information! I'm going to send your article to my husband's cardiologist.
This greatly expands my vision of what AI
can do to expand the uses for scans and other medical tests.. Fascinating. Thanks, Dr Topol.
