#AI in #medicine & #radiology is only going to accelerate. I’ve used Aidoc and can absolutely understand why their revenue growth over 3 years (2020-2023) was over %1500. Powerful tools that help make healthcare better for patients.

Great tool for making sure AI is working safely and appropriately.

I’m a Diagnostic and Interventional Radiologist at RWJBarnabas Health in NJ 🩻

Most of my professional interests outside of the hospital are in the fields of healthcare policy, advocacy, and economics. 🏛️
