Artificial intelligence revolutionizes medicine in the Ostalb district!

In the Ostalbkreis, a lot is happening in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine. Dr. In an event, Martin Kolb clearly explained how Ki not only helps to better recognize small, possibly malignant lung nodules, but also generally improves medical care. According to the information from Schwäbische Post Sorted Daily Hundreds of CT pictures daily daily. Four out of five suspicious nodules. In a typical radiology practice in the Ostalb district, around 15 to 16 such CT examinations are carried out every day.

But Ki is not only used in the pulmonary X -ray examination. The benefits of this technology can also be seen in the gastroenterology of the Ostalb Clinic. Chief physician Dr. Stefan Gölder has introduced a AI system that helps to recognize anomalies in colonoscopy. This system has been used for about two years and has increased the accuracy of the diagnoses by around 20 percent. AI not only supports diagnostics, but also training of the medical staff and the treatment team, which makes work easier for the specialists.

The role of AI in radiology

The field of application of the AI ​​in medical imaging is particularly outstanding, whereby radiology is considered the ideal area. This is due to the relevant skills in the areas of image processing, detection and classification, such as the Medical BLATTION reported. Over 700 AI software products are already approved in radiology. Nevertheless, the practical use of these advanced technologies is rather widespread, since it lacks financial support and the necessary validation of benefits for patient care.

Another topic is the challenges that the radiologists look for if they want to use AI systems. There are even unresolved questions about integration into existing process and IT infrastructures as well as for the training of medical staff. These points should be taken into account more in medical training and further education in order to ensure competent and safe use of technology.

patients and doctors in focus

An important aspect of using AI is the responsible handling of this technology. According to the recommendations of the project "My doctor, the KI and I" of the Hannover Medical School, patients should understand the possible uses of AI, question them and find out more about data protection. Doctors are also required to take responsibility for AI-based decisions and to explain the functioning of the technology transparently. These steps are crucial to strengthen trust in the technologies.

summarized it is shown that the use of AI in medicine not only is a great opportunity for patient care, but also brings challenges. The technologies that AI uses are continuously improved and offer potential to optimize diagnoses and treatments in many areas. But ultimately people remain irreplaceable: the final evaluation and therapy decision is still in the hands of the doctors. In doing so, AI applications should be seen as supporting tools, which can be continued optimally in the hands of specialists.

It is therefore not surprising that AI is very popular in the healthcare system, while on numerous fronts on solutions and concepts to shape the digital future of medicine.
