Abstract

The radiology practice has access to a wealth of data in the radiologist information system, dictation reports, and electronic health records. Although many artificial intelligence applications in radiology have focused on computer vision and the interpretive use cases, many opportunities exist to enhance the radiologist's value proposition through business analytics. This article explores how AI lends an analytical lens to the radiology practice to create value.

Keywords
