NYU Langone Health and Meta have developed a new type of MRI that dramatically reduces the time it takes to complete a scan using artificial intelligence.

  1. They mention that it's 'faster' and has 'clearer images' but both of those are very much runners up to the most important quality, ACCURACY. Let's be clear, this is functioning by filling in gaps in the data so it looks better, but is that compromising accuracy? Are potentially vital health indications getting scrubbed out as noise? Seems odd that the question of accuracy is never addressed.

  2. I can see the difference, but clinically, what does it mean? Now you have a computer doing more processing of an image. Can it help in making a better diagnosis or can it increase the risk of misdiagnosis because the AI is enhancing an image in a way that does not correspond to the real physiological state of the patient? I think the diagnosis from both images would be the same.
    As an analogy, consider that wearing yellow lens glasses on a cloudy day helps most people see better. But wearing coloured lenses also distorts our colour perception — even on a black and white image — as someone who used to used black and white film will tell you. I wish the report explained how these improvements are being made. For example, is it using an interpolation algorithm?

  3. Only had an MRI once, well twice actually when the first images were somehow corrupted. And it lasted roughly 20 minutes, but was for my shoulder so my head was right in the machine without any sticking out and yeah there's a level of anxiety there I didn't realize I had. I quickly found out that closing my eyes so I didn't realize how tight the area is did help a lot, and like the woman says just day dream and take your mind somewhere else. Having something to speed up this process would be fantastic though, just so long as it's not creating false data by extrapolating what it believes things should look like.
