The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Dec. 10, edition that at Scarborough's Centenary Hospital, a patient undergoes an MRI scan, while technologists analyze 3-D images of the pituitary gland. The Globe's Chris Hannay writes that thanks to new artificial intelligence software from Philips installed on their MRI machine, the scan now takes 10 to 15 minutes instead of over 20. This upgrade has allowed the MRI team to increase their daily patient count from 26 to an average of 32 to 34, with some days reaching up to 40. AI is transforming radiology by enhancing efficiency. Faster scans meet rising demand and improve patient comfort, while enabling medical teams to detect issues earlier and deliver diagnoses more quickly. AI tools enhance scanning efficiency and image resolution. Steve Gazzola, chief radiologist at Scarborough Health Network, likened the improved clarity to someone with poor eyesight wearing glasses, stating, "This software is like putting on a corrective prescription, improving the quality of what you're seeing." Researchers and entrepreneurs aim to enhance medical scans by broadening the range of issues detected. AI tools not only improve scanning efficiency but also enhance image resolution.
