Use of artificial intelligence in imaging in rheumatology – current status and future perspectives

Abstract: After decades of basic research with many setbacks, artificial intelligence (AI) has recently obtained significant breakthroughs, enabling computer programs to outperform human interpretation of medical images in very specific areas. After this shock wave that probably exceeds the impact of the first AI victory of defeating the world chess champion in 1997, some reflection may be appropriate on the consequences for clinical imaging in rheumatology. In this narrative review, a short explanation is given about t… Show more

“…Ophthalmic imaging, e.g., fundus digital photography, optical coherence tomography, among other imaging fields, is where artificial intelligence can support the specialist in the diagnosis of ophthalmic disorders, such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and others [65]. Other areas include cardiology [66,67] and rheumatology, which have a long history of research in AI applications aimed to detect and assess also rheumatological manifestations, bone erosions, and cartilage loss [68]. The development of digital pathology, due to the introduction of whole-slide scanners, and the progression of computer vision algorithms have significantly grown the usage of AI to perform tumor diagnosis, subtyping, grading, staging, and prognostic prediction.…”

“…Imaging is one of the fields that benefit the most from the advances of AI methods. Indeed, machine learning methods such as artificial neural networks enable an automatic analysis of images, with different levels of interpretation of the findings (fully human, semi-automatic interpretation or fully automatic interpretation) [ 15 ]. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), such methods have been applied to identify and quantify synovitis or tenosynovitis on MRI or ultrasonography [ 16 ], and to detect bone erosions on hand radiographs [ 17 ].…”
