AI-assisted scan reading begins at three hospitals
The system does a first pass in radiology; the report is still signed by a doctor.
The pilot is running at three hospitals. The system prioritises scans, flags suspect findings and moves them up the list. The decision stays with the radiologist.
Radiologists say they notice it most on night shifts: moving the urgent case to the front of a long queue accounts for most of the time saved.
At the user end what changes is usually just the interface. The real change happens behind it, where nobody is looking.
What the system does
Manufacturers tend not to comment on this sort of thing. By now the silence counts as information too.
Independent tests are run in laboratory conditions. In everyday use the picture is a little more honest.
What the doctors say
On security the rule has not moved: the weak link is never the software, it is the user in a hurry.
A decision on wider rollout waits for the pilot to complete a year. So far the concrete gain is not in diagnosis, it is in the order of the queue.
