Artificial Intelligence in Diagnosis and Clinical Decision-Making.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming many areas of life and health care is no exception. Medicine has long relied on the interpretation and analysis of large volumes of data to arrive at a correct diagnosis and to guide clinical decision-making. The modern application of AI has opened new ways for the clinician to treat patients including predictive analytics, improved medical imaging diagnostics and pathology reports, and it is already being utilized in many different medical specialties. Although there are limitations to what AI can provide in clinical decision-making, the future of this field is hopeful.
