Técnicas de inteligencia artificial aplicadas al análisis de imágenes diagnóstico

Abstract

The implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medical procedures has contributed to optimize the prevention and follow-up of some medical treatments. This cutting-edge technology is widely used in the processing of medical imaging because of its efficiency revealing diseases or foreign bodies in a shorter time. The present article reviews some features, after a compilation of information, on the use of Artificial Intelligence technologies for the diagnosis of diseases by images. To fulfill this, it was needed to inquire about some types of Diagnostic Imaging (DI) like computed tomography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and radiology. The inquiry showed that the former type of DI is the most used and known by health centers and laboratories that provide this kind of service in Colombia. This may be due to multiple factors, mainly to its wide availability, its easy performance, and its little used of radiation and low cost. Indeed, its approval as a method in the detection of various diseases is so simple that it does not require further administrative procedures. Therefore, this review pretends to briefly introduce the reader to technical information in regards medical imaging. First, by presenting some methods and functions. Second, by showing the most recent advances in this field of study and its contribution in mitigating the most recent public health issue called novel coronavirus.
