In the dynamic landscape of medical imaging, radiologists face an escalating challenge—over 54% report burnout, a concerning rise from 49% in 2022. Nuance and Microsoft are responding to this crisis with groundbreaking AI solutions unveiled at RSNA 2023, aiming to enhance radiology workflows, reduce cognitive burden, and prioritize patient care.

Reducing Cognitive Burden with AI Copilots:
AI copilots prove pivotal in alleviating the stress radiologists endure. By automating tedious tasks and enhancing reporting quality, these copilots allow radiologists to focus on interpreting images with undivided attention. They become an invaluable second pair of eyes, catching subtle findings that might otherwise go unnoticed, ultimately improving patient safety and reducing time to intervention.

New AI Capabilities and Collaborations:
The RSNA 2023 conference showcased remarkable advancements, including PowerScribe Smart Impression. This innovative solution harnesses generative AI for radiology reporting, creating draft impressions and recommendations. In collaboration with Microsoft and NVIDIA, Flywheel launched an AI development solution on Microsoft Azure, integrated with NVIDIA MONAI, to accelerate progress in medical imaging AI model development. Additionally, Paige and Nuance join forces to establish a digital consultation network for pathologists, connecting over 14,000 sites and streamlining healthcare operations.

-PowerScribe Smart Impression:
Nuance’s PowerScribe Smart Impression stands out as a game-changer in AI adoption for radiology. Radiologists praise its natural and accurate wording, enhancing reporting quality and identifying possible errors. Notably, users report saving up to a minute per read, contributing to significant time savings throughout a busy workday.

-Flywheel, Microsoft, and NVIDIA Collaboration:
Flywheel’s AI development solution on Microsoft Azure, in collaboration with NVIDIA MONAI, empowers medical imaging AI model development. The integration with mPower Clinical Analytics, powered by Nuance, offers users a comprehensive platform to enhance capabilities and drive innovation in radiology.

-Paige and Nuance Transform Collaboration:
Paige utilizes Nuance’s PowerShare image-sharing network to create a digital consultation network for pathologists. This collaboration connects over 14,000 sites, fostering streamlined healthcare operations and reducing the time and costs associated with diagnoses.

Creating Intelligence-Infused Radiology Workflows:
The future of AI in radiology lies in creating copilot experiences that infuse intelligence into every aspect of the workflow. This visionary approach allows radiologists to handle growing imaging volumes without compromising quality.

Next Steps:
