Smart algorithms help doctors in 15 research areas. Now neural networks determine the signs of arthrosis in the knee joint on x-rays and emphysema on computed tomography. This was announced by Ilya Tyrov, Deputy Head of the Moscow Health Department.

“Thus, smart algorithms help doctors in 15 research areas. In total, it already has processed more than 7 million x-rays studies. Further, we intend to expand the application of AI to 29 different areas.” he said.

AI simplifies and speeds up the work of a doctor. It detects and reports even minor deviations and report about it. The doctor receives a picture already marked by the algorithm and describes it independently.

“The radiologist may disagree with artificial intelligence and make a decision himself. The use of such services is not intended to be a substitute for the work of a specialist. You can draw an analogy between modern dictionaries and old ones. You had to open the dictionary and spend a lot of time looking for the right words, now you just need to click on the right link,” said Yuri Vasilyev, Chief Freelance Advisor for Radiation and Instrumental Diagnostics of the Moscow Healthcare Department, CEO of the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine.

Nowadays, thanks to smart assistants, it has become less demanding for radiologists to find signs of lung cancer, COVID-19, spinal osteoporosis, thoracic aortic aneurysm, coronary heart disease, stroke, pulmonary hypertension, hydrothorax, as well as lung pathologies, breast cancer and flat feet on CT scans. Neural networks have been introduced into the work of Moscow institutions, which recognize symptoms of 7 different pathologies in one medical image of an X-ray examination at once.

An experiment on the introduction of computer vision into medicine was launched jointly by the Moscow Social Development Complex and the Department of Information Technologies on the basis of the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine. Since the start of the Experiment, AI services have processed over 7 million studies. The Center has become a platform for the development of artificial intelligence technologies in Russia, as well as support for domestic developers.
