Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming various fields, including radiology, by enhancing professional and support staff capabilities through innovative tools. AI systems perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, while machine learning (ML) algorithms enable these systems to learn from data and improve over time. Integrating AI into medical imaging workflows enhances efficiency and accuracy in tasks like lesion detection and supports non-clinical staff in managing complex systems and data.
A wide range of advanced AI tools are available for medical imaging, computer vision, chatbot applications, and database management, helping developers create solutions that meet diverse healthcare needs.
Key AI Tools

TensorFlow: A versatile platform for developing, training, and deploying ML models using languages like Python and JavaScript. It is widely used for AI applications, including medical imaging and computer vision.

PyTorch: A dynamic, flexible framework for deep learning and neural networks, popular in both research and industry.

Keras: A high-level API for building and training deep learning models, running on top of TensorFlow to simplify AI development.

AWS SageMaker: A managed service for building, training, and deploying ML models at scale, integrating well with AWS services like EC2 and S3.

AWS DeepAR: A forecasting algorithm for time series predictions, useful for forecasting trends in patient data or workflow patterns.


OpenCV and scikit-image: Tools for image processing and computer vision. OpenCV focuses on real-time image processing, while scikit-image offers a collection of Python-based algorithms for image analysis.

LangChain: A tool for building applications with large language models (LLMs), suitable for creating chatbots and other AI-driven text analysis applications.
