And if we weren't a big, broken mess of late stage capitalist hellscape, you or someone you know could have actually benefited from this.

Yea none of us are going to see the benefits. Tired of seeing articles of scientific advancement that I know will never trickle down to us peasants.

Our clinics are already using ai to clean up MRI images for easier and higher quality reads. We use ai on our cath lab table to provide a less noisy image at a much lower rad dose.

It never makes mistakes that affect diagnosis?

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It’s not diagnosing, which is good imho. It’s just being used to remove noise and artifacts from the images on the scan. This means the MRI is clearer for the reading physician and ordering surgeon in the case of the MRI and that the cardiologist can use less radiation during the procedure yet get the same quality image in the lab.

I’m still wary of using it to diagnose in basically any scenario because of the salience and danger that both false negatives and false positives threaten.
