"European Medical Center" began using Zebra-Med AI for medical imaging

2021: Launch AI AI1

European Medical Center began to implement artificial intelligence AI1 the Israeli the company's system (All-In-One) Zebra Medical Vision for medical image processing. This was reported on March 11, 2021 in the "The European medical center."

Within the period of testing, the system will be used to diagnose intracranial hemorrhage, compression fractures of the spine and pneumothorax - an accumulation of air in the pleural cavity, which can occur due to chest injury, pulmonary edema or severe pneumonia. Subsequently, it is planned to expand the algorithms used, including the use of the latest coronary calcium screening solution to assess the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

The neural network automatically reads and processes computer tomography and X-ray data, analyzes information, and in less than 5 seconds outputs diagnostic results with an accuracy of 99%. If a pathology is suspected, the system "marks" the study and the area causing suspicion by assigning them a red or orange level, and takes these studies to the first positions, focusing the attention of the specialist on them.

Given the accuracy of determining the norm up to 99%, artificial intelligence significantly facilitates the work of a radiation diagnostic doctor in the search for pathology, reduces the likelihood of missing due to fatigue and the "human factor," especially when working around the clock. According to the developers, using the technology can help doctors make a diagnosis 80% faster compared to emergency radiology methods, while performing more studies and conclusions on them per unit time.

Zebra-Med neural network training was conducted using a system of scanning millions of medical images provided by thousands of radiologists from diagnostic centers around the world.  Al1 is integrated into radiological information systems and image sharing systems that are used in medical institutions in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia and other countries.

"The main advantage of artificial intelligence is the ability to process a large number of images in a short time. This allows you to get a result faster and start treating the patient, which is especially important in urgent conditions, such as cerebral hemorrhage or pneumothorax, "says Andrei Trebushenkov, head of the EMC radiation diagnostics department, radiologist. "In the future, we see great prospects for using artificial intelligence to diagnose a wide variety of diseases, including helping to detect oncological, cardiovascular, neurological diseases at the earliest stage."
