March 11, 2021 AI4C: How to Connect an Artificial Intelligence Tool to PACS

March 11, 2021

Abstract

In this virtual presentation, we will show how to use Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Query and Retrieve functions to pull a study from a cloud or public picture archiving and communication system (PACS), run an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm on those images, and store the results back to another (cloud) PACS. This is a practical example of how to both get images needed by an AI tool for inference and how to store the results back using DICOM methods. In addition, some real-world considerations are exploited, like limitations and possible issues.

Target Audience

This lecture series in intended for Physicians of all specialties, nurses, Physician Assistants, Information Technology Specialists, and Researchers interested in Artificial Intelligence in healthcare. Faculty of all levels, students, residents, and fellows welcome. Personnel from the healthcare technology sector may also be interested in attending the series.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) at a high-level.
  2. Identify current limitations of AI in healthcare.
  3. Cite examples of AI as applied to imaging and other healthcare data.
  4. Describe example AI tools that can impact workflow in the healthcare arena.
