Hsieh Forbes Column: "Will Computers Be Reading Your Chest X-Ray?"
My latest Forbes column is now out: "Will Computers Be Reading Your Chest X-Ray?"
A team of researchers from Stanford University department of Computer Science and Stanford Medical School have now created an AI system capable of diagnosing pneumonia on chest x-rays more accurately than skilled human radiologists.
The future is coming quickly.
[Image below from the original article: "Our model, CheXNet, is a 121-layer convolutional neural network that inputs a chest X-ray image and outputs the probability of pneumonia along with a heatmap localizing the areas of the image most indicative of pneumonia."]
