AIIMS New Delhi
AI-assisted chest X-ray interpretation and provisional reporting
AIIMS clinicians reported provisional chest X-ray reports in 5-10 minutes
Problem
Heavy chest X-ray volumes created reporting backlogs at AIIMS. Reports could take a day or two to reach treating physicians.
Approach
AIIMS began using software from a Mumbai healthtech startup to identify abnormalities and generate provisional reports. Staff customized it during a pilot. Radiologists and clinicians reviewed the findings before treatment, with weekly joint discussions of AI-assisted reports.
Results
Takeaway
Faster provisional reporting left clinical decisions with doctors. The hospital did not publish a quantified accuracy improvement.
