AI in the hospital
A doctor studies a scan, a picture of the body's inside. A program marks one patch, a small area of the scan. Who decides what it means?
- A scan is taken.
- A program marks one patch to look at.
- A doctor studies the scan and the mark.
- The doctor decides what to do.
The doctor decides what the mark means.
A doctor can speak notes aloud. A program can turn the speech into text. A person should check the text.
Some programs study scans and mark spots that look different from normal. The programs can also measure what they find. A doctor usually writes the final report on a scan.
A diagnosis is a doctor's finding of which illness a person has. Some wrist bands count heartbeats. If the beat looks uneven, a band can show a warning. Uneven means not steady. A warning is not a diagnosis. It does not say which illness.
AI can point things out to a doctor. The doctor decides what to do.
