How AI is impacting the medical imaging field (Spectrum News 1)

Artificial intelligence continues to be a game changer in the health care field.

Pierre Baldi is a professor of computer science at the University of California, Irvine. He works alongside his team to create AI models to improve accuracy in the medical imaging. Baldi, who has been a professor at UCI for 25 years, has helped develop a model that is able to detect potentially problematic polyps during colonoscopies.

“Our AI system detects the polyps and puts a green bounding box around the polyps that it detects,” Baldi said. “It can do this in real time, with accuracy that is very high compared to human experts.” …

With more than three decades of experience in computer science, Baldi says his goals remain the same as they were when he began his career.

“Ultimately, that’s what you want to do as a scientist. You want to do good,” Baldi said. “And to improve the world we live in and help other human beings.”
