Overview
Science and technology, in particular Artificial intelligence (AI), are increasingly applied in healthcare to deliver better patient outcomes. In line with Singapore's national AI strategy, healthcare innovators and practitioners are co-developing and applying novel AI models for disease prediction and management.
Ultrasound Imaging is one of the areas where AI can play an important role to standardise imaging protocols and improve diagnostic accuracy in clinical applications. Research has shown that the use of AI can improve the accuracy of ultrasound image analysis significantly. With its self-learning ability, AI is able to identify abstract and complex imaging features, helping to improving image acquisition, real-time assessment of image quality, objective diagnosis and detection of diseases, thus optimising ultrasound clinical workflow.
Join us at this online event to learn more about how AI may help transform the future of ultrasound imaging and deliver better healthcare experience for all.
