Are doctors using AI software to identify cancer cells from CT scan
AI is revolutionizing the medical industry. Are doctors using it to identify cancer. Are they in general use in many hospitals?

Mayo uses Ai in all disciplines.
i understand that. it is a very good decision. what do you think of other hospitals, is AI there in widespread use?
I think the larger research and medical educational systems do; however I know smaller ones do not unless they contract out say radiology for example.

If your interested in AI in radiology in more detail, you may want to read following article from the American College of Radiology. One interesting fact I learn while reading is that FDA has to approved artificial intelligence (AI) medical algorithms.

@study333vijay, fellow member @texasmimi is right. Mayo Clinic uses AI in many departments and diseases. The Department of Artificial Intelligence and Informatics (AI&I) is a research department that supports Mayo Clinic's artificial intelligence and informatics strategies.
