How Artificial Intelligence is Being Used in Lung Imaging, with Rachel Eddy, PhD

The medical world has been steadily transformed by the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, with some experts in fields such as pulmonology having uncovered benefits from AI’s application and exploring new options for utilization.

During the September 2024 episode of Lungcast, a conversation about AI in lung imaging featured Rachel Eddy, PhD, assistant professor in the departments of radiology and pediatrics at the University of British Columbia, and an investigator at the BC Children’s Hospital. Eddy joined to guide listeners through the current and future uses of AI in lung imaging.

In this episode, Eddy and Rizzo highlight a variety of functions and ongoing research related to the implementation of AI in imaging. During the above segment of Lungcast spoke about recent use of generative AI as well as terms commonly used.

Additionally, Eddy covers her own work and its implementation of AI technology. She also notes the impact on patients with COPD or asthma.

Lungcast is a monthly respiratory health podcast series which is hosted by Albert Rizzo, MD, the chief medical officer of the American Lung Association (ALA), and produced by the ALA and HCPLive.
