Artificial Intelligence and Medical Imaging: Introduction, Applications, Startups

Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly deep learning algorithms, is gaining extensive attention for its excellent performance in image-recognition tasks. They can automatically make a quantitative assessment of complex medical image characteristics and achieve an increased accuracy for diagnosis with higher efficiency. In this review medical imaging for different applications will be discussed. In addition, different startup, spin-off, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), and also some BigPharman and or Tech companies are developing AI-based medical imaging technologies. This communication also lists some of these startup companies.
