Intel and Philips Partner to Speed Up Imaging Analysis Using AI

Intel Corporation and Royal Philips have tested two healthcare use cases for deep learning inference models: one on X-rays of bones for bone-age-prediction modeling and the other on CT scans of lungs for lung segmentation. In these tests, which were conducted using Intel Xeon Scalable processors and the OpenVINO toolkit, the researchers achieved a speed improvement of 188 times for the bone-age-prediction model and 38 times for the lung-segmentation model over the baseline measurements. These tests show that healthcare organizations can implement artificial intelligence (AI) workloads without expensive hardware investments. More...

Facebook Collaborates with NYU School of Medicine to Make MRI Scans Faster

Facebook, Inc. and the NYU School of Medicine’s Department of Radiology have announced a new collaborative research project named fastMRI that will investigate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for making magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans up to 10 times faster. The project aims at making MRI technology available to more people, thereby expanding access to the key diagnostic tool. More...
