Radiology Reimagined: AI, innovation and interoperability in practice

Radiology Reimagined: AI, innovation and interoperability in practice is an in-person demonstration that showcases new technologies and communication standards needed to integrate AI into the diagnostic radiology workflow.

Presented at the RSNA annual meeting, the demonstration uses real-world clinical scenarios and interoperability standards to demonstrate new tools and practice enhancements enabled by AI.

Scenario

Each demonstration follows a fictional patient through a real, clinical scenario involving both emergent and long-term care. It includes many steps in the radiology workflow where AI can assist the radiologist and improve the efficiency and quality of care.

The diagrams linked here give a visual overview of the flow of information among systems in a radiology practice with AI tools integrated: 

• Imaging AI Workflow
• Post-Imaging AI Workflow 

Standards foundation

Each demonstration shows how radiology systems can be integrated to efficiently include AI-based applications at key points in the workflow. This seamless integration relies on a set of interoperability standards, including: 

• IHE AI Results specifies how results are stored, retrieved, and displayed.
• IHE AI Workflow for Imaging specifies methods to request, manage, perform, and monitor imaging AI algorithms.
• Interactive Multimedia Reporting provides ways to enhance radiology reports, for example, by adding hyperlinks to a specific image of interest described in the report text.
• RadElement Common Data Elements (CDEs) provide standardized ways of representing observations made in the course of radiologic diagnosis.
• HL7 FHIRcast synchronizes clinical applications (EHR, PACS, reporting systems, AI tools) to a given study or patient.
