Artificial Intelligence (AI) has an undeniable impact on healthcare in general, and radiology in particular.

Starting in late 2017, Mayo Clinic’s Department of Radiology formed an enterprise-wide organisation to deliver AI algorithms into the clinical practice.

The Framework for AI Software Technologies, or FAST is tasked with identifying, training, deploying, and monitoring AI models in Mayo’s radiology practice.

Join us on our SGH Hospital of the Future podcast where we invite Dr Daniel J. Blezek, and Dr Andy D. Missert, AI scientists in the Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic to share about their ever-changing programme structure, identify key roles, as well as how they detail their processes of turning ideas into successful implementations. They also review the current and future AI portfolio and end with perspectives, advice, and recommendations on bespoke AI development within radiology departments.
