Seattle radiologist chats about AI, patient misconceptions and more

Seattle radiologist Maria Chong, MD, a body imaging specialist for Radia, said in a new interview that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning will “revolutionize radiology” in the next decade.

In the interview, part of an upcoming Seattle Magazine cover story, Chong discussed impact AI will have on patient care when asked about the future of healthcare.

“Although still an early technology, computers are beginning to interpret images and assist the radiologist in making a rapid, accurate diagnosis,” she said. “Eventually, AI in medicine will improve diagnostic accuracy, lower health care costs and enhance our lives.”

Chong also discussed misconceptions patients have about radiology, patient behavior and other more.
