Israeli Medical Imaging Startup Makes TIME Magazine's List of Genius Companies
(Israel21c) Brian Blum - Aidoc is saving lives through medical imaging. It applies proprietary artificial intelligence to the millions of images generated every year by CT scans in order to catch serious issues before a human radiologist even has a chance to review the results. Aidoc reviews CT results as soon as they come out of the machine. If an abnormality is detected, an alert appears on the radiologist's screen immediately. Aidoc is now used in 50 medical institutions in the U.S. and Europe, as well as in Sheba Medical Center in Israel. Nearly 300,000 patient scans have been analyzed. Aidoc software detected 140,000 abnormalities and prioritized 46,000 cases. In addition to CT scans, regular X-rays as well as high-tech MRIs will be added in 2019.
