In the massive demonstration arena of Chicago\u2019s McCormick Place conference complex this week, hundreds of computer monitors lit up with every body part and radiological image: fractures in X-rays, breast cancer in mammograms, brain atrophy in MRIs, and heart blockages in CT angiograms. With nearly every black-and-white image came a promised boost from artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

In radiology today, and at its largest annual conference held by the Radiological Society of North America, artificial intelligence is inescapable. This year, more than 100 companies filled the floor of the conference\u2019s AI showcase, larger than two football fields \u2014 some booths modest, some decked out in multi-story, neon-lit structures, tempting wanderers with on-demand cappuccinos and smoothies. Attendees stopped for selfies with a 3D heart model larger than their heads as it pulsed with light, demonstrating a company\u2019s coronary artery AI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

AI snuck into pitches well beyond the boundaries of its dedicated grotto. The biggest hardware manufacturers in radiology \u2014 GPS, people say, for GE, Philips, and Siemens \u2014 have also leaned in. Patients-for-hire in boxers stared dutifully into the middle distance as their bodies were gelled-up and prodded to demonstrate AI-assisted ultrasound, and visitors snacked on Chicago-made gourmet popcorn as they walked through a Disney-esque \u201cpatient experience\u201d guided by AI.\u00a0<\/p>\n
