Radiologists
can find secrets hidden in every image.
Radiologists review dozens of medical images for every patient they see—often hundreds in a day. Watson never gets eyestrain or momentarily distracted, and has been trained by researchers to rapidly analyze huge numbers of images and rank them for potential anomalies. Radiologists can then focus on the ones that matter and apply their expertise more quickly. Watson can also retrieve similar images from other cases for comparison to help doctors confirm or refine their diagnoses.
