Medical imaging artificial intelligence systems are capable of incredible things, but they can also be unreliable, unpredictable, and even dangerous. With presentations from Dr Catherine Jones, Thoracic Radiologist and Chest Lead at annalise.ai and Dr Lauren Oaken-Raynor, Director of Research, Medical Imaging, Royal Adelaide Hospital, this webinar covers some of the fundamental questions surrounding the development and implementation of a medical imaging artificial intelligence tool.
This webinar took place on Tuesday 9th March | 6pm AEDT in partnership with RANZCR.
Presentation summaries
Part1: The basics of safe medical AI
Presented by Dr Luke Oaken-Rayner, Director of Research, Medical Imaging, Royal Adelaide Hospital, Researcher, Australian Institute for Machine Learning.
Medical imaging AI systems are capable of incredible things, but they can also be unreliable, unpredictable, and even dangerous. In this talk, Dr Luke Oakden-Rayner will explain the intuition behind a key concept in medical ai safety, model underspecification, and discuss several approaches that developers can take to mitigate this problem.
Learning objectives:
- What is “underspecification” of an artificial intelligence model?
- How can underspecification lead to harm?
- How can we develop and test artificial intelligence in a way that mitigates the risks of underspecification?
Part 2: AI and the CXR – developing and validating comprehensive AI
Presented by Dr Catherine Jones, annalise.ai
Rapid advances in artificial intelligence modelling have led to the development of new and exciting AI tools to assist radiologists. Developing a comprehensive chest X-ray diagnostic tool is a complex process, requiring consideration of clinical use cases, workflow integration and hidden stratification. Dr Catherine Jones discusses the process of developing and validating Annalise CXR, the most comprehensive chest X-ray diagnostic support tool available.
Learning objectives:
- To understand the commonly used terms relating to artificial intelligence in radiology.
- To gain a deeper insight into the development of AI for the interpretation of chest radiographs.
- To develop a greater understanding of the clinical use cases of chest radiograph AI.
