Aidoc AI screening of emergency CT scans
Dublin's Mater Hospital put AI on its radiology scans and reported over 700 urgent findings flagged within about three minutes
Problem
Emergency departments send a steady stream of scans, and a bleed or clot has to reach a radiologist's attention fast.
Approach
The Mater was described as the first Irish hospital to use AI across radiology. The Aidoc platform runs in the background on scans and flags suspected findings such as intracranial haemorrhage and pulmonary embolism. The hospital then planned to trial AI tools for bone and chest X-rays in the emergency department.
Results
Takeaway
AI flagged urgent findings while running in the background on radiology scans. TechCentral.ie reported the hospital's accuracy figure of above 90% without naming the assessor.
