(Adnkronos) - “L'intelligenza artificiale ormai si è inserita in tutte le fasi dell'atto medico radiologico. L’ambito che viene enfatizzato di più è quello della diagnosi che diventa più precoce, facilitata, per quelle più complesse oppure più veloce per quelle più semplici”. Lo ha detto Chiara Floridi, professore di Radiodiagnostica università Politecnica delle Marche, intervenuto durante la seconda giornata di “The Next Generation”, titolo del 51° Congresso Nazionale della Società italiana di Radiologia medica e Interventistica (Sirm), in corso al Mico di Milano fino a domenica 23 giugno.

00:00What is the role of Artificial Intelligence?
00:04Artificial Intelligence is now included in all phases of the medical-radiological act,
00:10so certainly the area that is most emphasized is that of diagnosis,
00:17of early diagnosis, of the fallibility of the most complex diagnoses,
00:22or of the speed of the simplest diagnoses.
00:25In fact, Artificial Intelligence is also fundamental in the decision of which exam to do,
00:31if to do the exam, and above all in the optimization of the execution of the exam.
00:36Let's think of all the exams that use ionizing radiations.
00:40Well, today several software, several systems of Artificial Intelligence
00:44allow to optimize the dose based on the characteristics of the patient,
00:48the age of the patient, the sex of the patient, the clinical question,
00:51and therefore reduce the dose that we actually give to the patient,
00:56therefore improving not only the diagnosis, but also the health of the patient himself.
01:01Augmented reality helps the patient, for example, in the acceptance of the exam.
01:07Today, several systems have been studied and also introduced in the clinic
01:12to immerse the patient in a virtual reality,
01:16before or during the execution of a radiological exam,
01:19thus reducing the anxiety of the exam.
01:22Let's think of magnetic resonance exams, which today can last more than 20 minutes,
01:26and which are practically impossible to perform in claustrophobic patients or pediatric patients.
01:32Here, the possibility of immersing oneself in a virtual reality can help the patient.
01:36On the other hand, the possibility of using augmented reality, virtual reality,
01:41is also helpful to new doctors in training,
01:44therefore to those who are facing this discipline,
01:47because it allows to simulate medical realities, radiological realities,
01:53of interventional radiology realities,
01:55and therefore to perform exams, to perform procedures of interventional radiology,
02:00without using directly the patients as cables,
02:04but exercising themselves first on a virtual reality, without hurting anyone,
02:10but thus improving their training and their performance.
