Google, one of the leading companies
in the healthcare field of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning
technology, has collaborated with the Indian hospital chain Apollo Hospitals to
develop an artificial intelligence algorithm that analyzes chest X-ray images.
Artificial intelligence (AI), which
gives life to many sectors from smart phone to automotive, from military to
health, has the potential to overcome many obstacles in front of humanity. One
of the companies that are aware of this potential, Google has added a new one
to its studies in artificial intelligence. The US technology giant has
developed an artificial intelligence algorithm to detect four important
findings in people's chest X-rays.
Designed by Google researchers, the
model can detect four major lung disorders: pneumothorax, mass, fracture, and
opacity. According to research published in the world-famous science journal
Nature, the AI algorithm, which is trained using thousands of x-ray images,
performs at the radiologist level.
More than 600,000 X-rays were
obtained from the India-based hospital chain Apollo Hospitals, which was also
supported by Google's umbrella company, Alphabet's artificial intelligence
initiative DeepMind. Researchers developed a text-based system using radiology
reports associated with each X-ray, and then analyzed more than 560,000 images
from the data set provided by Apollo Hospitals.
Google researchers, the artificial
intelligence algorithm they developed, doctors can easily see the x-ray images
can be detected quickly, he says. Stating that the models determine the
findings frequently missed by radiologists, the company said that in some
cases, doctors made much better detection than artificial intelligence.
Therefore, researchers expressed the need to develop models combining the
skills of both AI systems and doctors, and stated that AI applications have
tremendous potential in medical image interpretation.
