Thesis Overview

The project titled "Implementation of Artificial Intelligence in Radiographic Image Interpretation" focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the field of radiography to enhance the interpretation of medical images. Radiography plays a vital role in diagnosing various medical conditions by capturing images of the internal structures of the body. However, the process of interpreting these images can be complex and time-consuming, requiring a high level of expertise from radiographers and physicians. The integration of AI in radiographic image interpretation has the potential to revolutionize the field by improving diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and patient outcomes. AI algorithms can analyze images quickly and accurately, helping radiographers and clinicians detect abnormalities, diagnose conditions, and develop treatment plans more effectively. By leveraging AI technology, healthcare professionals can streamline the interpretation process, reduce human error, and enhance the overall quality of patient care. This research project aims to explore the benefits and challenges of implementing AI in radiographic image interpretation. It will investigate the current state of AI technology in radiography, examine existing AI algorithms and tools used for image analysis, and evaluate their performance in comparison to traditional methods. The project will also explore the ethical considerations and implications of using AI in healthcare, including issues related to data privacy, bias, and accountability. Furthermore, the research will involve the development and testing of a prototype AI system designed specifically for radiographic image interpretation. The system will be trained on a dataset of medical images to learn how to identify and analyze various anatomical structures and abnormalities. The performance of the AI system will be evaluated through comparative studies with human radiographers and physicians to assess its accuracy, speed, and reliability in image interpretation. Overall, this research project seeks to advance the field of radiography by harnessing the power of AI technology to improve the interpretation of medical images. By exploring the potential applications of AI in radiographic image interpretation and addressing the associated challenges, this project aims to contribute to the ongoing evolution of healthcare practices and ultimately enhance patient care outcomes.
