Objective: To test the performance of a novel machine learning-based breast density tool. The tool utilizes a convolutional neural network to predict the BI-RADS based density assessment of a study. The clinical density assessments of 33,000 mammographic examinations (164,000 images) from one academic medical center (Site A) were used for training.

Purpose: Personalized interpretation of medical images is critical for optimum patient care, but current tools available to physicians to perform quantitative analysis of patient's medical images in real time are significantly limited. In this work, we describe a novel platform within PACS for volumetric analysis of images and thus development of large expert annotated datasets in parallel with radiologist performing the reading that are critically needed for development of clinically meaningful AI algorithms. Specifically, we implemented a deep learning-based algorithm for automated brain tumor segmentation and radiomics extraction, and embedded it into PACS to accelerate a supervised, end-to- end workflow for image annotation and radiomic feature extraction.

Article Synopsis
  • Delivering optimal care in clinical settings is complicated by limited evidence from costly clinical trials, leaving many healthcare questions unanswered.
  • Underserved regions often struggle to access and implement advanced evidence-based guidelines due to a lack of resources and training for care providers.
  • The use of eActions, or validated clinical decision support systems, could enhance decision-making in busy healthcare environments, but requires overcoming technical and cultural challenges, as well as better data management systems.
