Intelligent Imaging: Artificial Intelligence Augmented Nuclear Medicine

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) in nuclear medicine and radiology represents a significant disruptive technology. Although there has been much debate about the impact of AI on the careers of radiologists, the opportunities in nuclear medicine enhance the capability of the physician and at the same time have an impact on the responsibilities of physicists and technologists. This transformative technology requires insight into the principles and opportunities for seamless assimilation into practice without the associated displacement of human resources. This article introduces the current clinical applications of machine learning and deep learning.
