GE Healthcare is betting big on AI to help doctors read medical scans

GE Healthcare is investing heavily in artificial intelligence (AI) to assist doctors in reading medical scans like X-rays and MRIs. The company aims to have AI-powered clinical support tools for medical imaging available by 2024. These tools will help doctors detect potential issues more quickly and accurately, improving patient care. GE Healthcare’s AI models will be trained on vast datasets of medical images to recognize patterns and abnormalities. However, the AI will not replace doctors but rather augment their expertise by flagging areas of concern for further review. This approach aims to reduce diagnostic errors and improve efficiency in radiology departments. GE Healthcare sees AI as a key growth area and is collaborating with healthcare providers to develop and validate these AI-powered clinical support tools.
