Investigating the Utility of Machine Learning in Diagnostic Radiology
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly utilized in the field of diagnostic radiology. In this project you would conduct a literature review investigating the machine learning methods that have been developed to aid radiologists in the detection of various anatomical and pathological features in X-rays, MRIs, ultrasound, and CT scans. You would then write a review paper providing a brief history of AI in radiology, summarizing new developments in the field, and describing specific challenges current researchers are facing.
