RSNA 2024: El impacto de la IA dentro y fuera de la sala de lectura
Por: Kees Hertogh, vicepresidente de marketing de salud y ciencias de la vida.
Lo que comenzó como una caja de prompts, cambió el mundo de la noche a la mañana. En lugar de buscar información en una ventana del navegador, Copilot de Microsoft permite a las personas generar información inteligente, automatizar tareas y despertar la creatividad en las aplicaciones y dispositivos en los que confían.
La IA generativa y otros tipos de IA transforman la radiología de la sala de lectura al laboratorio de investigación. A veces, la IA generativa parece una reunión más eficiente para la junta de tumores. Otras veces, es una impresión de borrador que les recuerda que deben incluir detalles que podrían haber pasado por alto. En todos los casos, parece que los equipos de radiología están empoderados, para trabajar de manera más eficiente y mejorar los resultados de los pacientes.
En RSNA 2024 mostramos las crecientes oportunidades para que los equipos de radiología accedan a una IA responsable, entregada a escala.1
Devolver el tiempo a los radiólogos
La mayoría de los radiólogos todavía dedican una cantidad significativa de su tiempo a tareas fuera de la interpretación de imágenes y la creación de informes. Desde apoyar una conferencia de la junta de tumores hasta redactar una propuesta de subvención, es un trabajo importante, pero requiere mucho tiempo.
Microsoft 365 Copilot, con más de 400 millones de usuarios, impulsa la productividad en todo el mundo. Al conectar y graficar de forma segura los datos en todas sus aplicaciones y actividad web, Copilot tiene el contexto que necesitan para proporcionar respuestas más personalizadas e inteligentes.
Cuando equipos enteros de radiología automatizan, buscan, resumen y crean con Copilot para abordar sus tareas diarias, los minutos que ahorran se acumulan con rapidez.
Aplicar la IA, incluida la IA generativa, dentro de la sala de lectura
Precision Imaging Network ofrece un único punto de acceso a una colección de modelos de IA de terceros que han pasado por revisiones técnicas, de cumplimiento y de seguridad. Existen modelos de IA de triaje que trabajan para identificar imágenes con hallazgos críticos y ayudan a garantizar que los radiólogos lean primero los casos más urgentes. Los modelos de IA de detección y medición ayudan a los radiólogos con la interpretación de imágenes al resaltar las anomalías.
«Precision Imaging Network está diseñada para ayudar a las organizaciones de atención médica, sin importar su tamaño, a participar y liderar una revolución de IA. Su marco facilita la integración efectiva y sin problemas de los modelos de IA de imágenes que pueden ayudarlos a brindar una mejor atención al paciente».
Dr. Reza Forghani, MD, PhD, neurorradiólogo y experto en IA médica
Más allá de integrar a la perfección la IA de terceros en su flujo de trabajo, los radiólogos pueden aprovechar la IA generativa para ayudar a automatizar la creación de informes.
PowerScribe Smart Impression, que ganó el premio AuntMinnie al Mejor Software de Radiología Nuevo 2024, utiliza la IA generativa para crear en automático un borrador de impresión al estilo de dictado del radiólogo, por medio de metadatos de pedidos, entradas de IA aprobadas y hallazgos dictados. Se entrena en millones de informes y ofrece una variedad de beneficios, desde una mayor eficiencia hasta una mayor satisfacción laboral.
El Dr. Jay Janusz Kikut es profesor clínico de radiología y vicepresidente de informática de radiología en el Centro Médico de la Universidad de Vermont. Ha descubierto que tres cuartas partes de los radiólogos de su departamento que utilizan PowerScribe Smart Impression creen que les ha hecho más eficientes. «También les ayuda a no olvidar cosas […] y contribuye a su satisfacción en el trabajo», dice el Dr. Kikut.
En Microsoft, nos centramos en hacer que la IA esté disponible para más personas, por lo que PowerScribe Smart Impression ahora se incluye con PowerScribe One.2 Lo mejor de todo es que está integrado de forma nativa en el flujo de trabajo sin necesidad de integraciones adicionales.
Hacer que la innovación en IA sea más segura y sencilla
También nos comprometemos a ayudar a los clientes, desarrolladores y socios del sector sanitario a crear y utilizar una IA que se guíe por nuestros principios de seguridad, protección y privacidad. Nuestro servicio de agente de atención médica anunciado de manera reciente en Microsoft Copilot Studio es un gran ejemplo. Permite a las organizaciones sanitarias crear sus propios agentes generativos impulsados por IA con medidas de seguridad, clínicas, de chat y de cumplimiento específicas para la atención sanitaria de última generación. Esto les permite innovar de manera responsable con la IA. Para ayudar a mejorar la experiencia del paciente y agilizar los flujos de trabajo. Esto les permite innovar de manera responsable con la IA para ayudar a mejorar la experiencia del paciente y optimizar los flujos de trabajo.
Otra forma en que ayudamos a las organizaciones a experimentar con la IA es a través de los modelos de IA de atención médica multimodal preentrenados en Azure AI Foundry. Los equipos de la Universidad de Wisconsin-Madison y UW Health han utilizado su base de datos de 2,5 millones de radiografías de tórax para afinar un modelo que genera borradores de informes con técnicas de conexión visual a tierra. El radiólogo puede hacer clic en el contenido del informe para ver dónde se encuentran las áreas a las que se hace referencia de manera directa en la radiografía de tórax.
«La generación de informes fundamentados a partir de imágenes médicas es una nueva frontera. La colaboración con Microsoft nos permite explorar el potencial de estos modelos para mejorar los informes de radiología y mejorar la atención al paciente».
Dr. Richard Bruce, vicepresidente de informática, radiología de la Universidad de Wisconsin-Madison
Esta historia es solo una de muchas. Los visionarios de la atención médica aplican nuestros modelos fundamentales multimodales para abordar desafíos que van desde la transformación de los flujos de trabajo de radiología hasta la aceleración del avance de la investigación clínica, el descubrimiento de fármacos y la atención al paciente.
Apoyamos a nuestros socios para construir un futuro mejor
En RSNA 2024, compartimos cómo nuestra colaboración con Sectra subraya nuestro compromiso con el avance de la atención médica a través de la IA. Al colaborar con Sectra, combinamos su experiencia líder en imágenes médicas con nuestras capacidades de IA para desarrollar soluciones avanzadas que ayudan a los radiólogos y médicos a tomar decisiones más rápidas e informadas, para impulsar mejoras en los resultados de la atención médica.
La IA continúa con la transformación significativa de la radiología, para ampliar el ámbito de las posibilidades. Y lo que es más importante, puede optimizar los flujos de trabajo, lo que permite a los radiólogos centrarse en lo que más importa: mejorar la atención al paciente con informes de alta calidad. A medida que más equipos de radiología adoptan y promueven la innovación en IA, anticipamos con entusiasmo un año inspirador por delante.

AWS Glue Data Catalog now offers advanced automatic optimization for Apache Iceberg tables. This update includes supporting compaction of delete files, nested data types, partial progress commits, and partition evolution support, making it easier to maintain consistently performant transactional data lakes. These features address challenges faced by customers with streaming data continuously ingested into Apache Iceberg tables, resulting in a large number of delete files that track changes in data files.
With this new capability, Glue Data Catalog constantly monitors table partitions for positional and equality delete files, initiates the compaction process, and regularly commits partial progress to reduce conflicts. Glue Catalog optimizers now support schema evolution as you reorder or rename columns as well as partition spec evolution. In addition, Glue Catalog has expanded support for heavily nested complex data and support for parquet compression codecs – zstd, brotli, lz4, gzip, snappy. Enabling automatic compaction reduces delete files and metadata overhead on your Iceberg tables and improves query performance. These new features are automatically applied to existing and new Glue Catalog optimizers.
In addition to the AWS console, customers can also use the AWS CLI or AWS SDKs to automate optimization for Apache Iceberg tables. The feature is available in 14 AWS regions US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland, London, Frankfurt, Stockholm), Canada (central), Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Seoul, Mumbai, Singapore, Sydney), South America (São Paulo). To learn more, read the blog, and visit the AWS Glue Data Catalog documentation.

Today, AWS announces Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) support for Recycle Bin, a data recovery feature that enables restoration of accidental deleted Amazon EBS Snapshots and EBS-backed AMIs. You now have the option of using IPv6 addresses for new and existing endpoints. By moving to IPv6, you can simplify your network stack by running dual-stack Recycle Bin endpoints on a network that supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
Customers can create rules in Recycle Bin to retain deleted EBS Snapshots or deregistered EBS-backed AMI for a specific retention time. This capability allows you to immediately recover your deleted snapshots or EBS-backed AMIs when you create volumes or launch instance without a need to roll back to a snapshot or AMI from an earlier point in time. Recovered snapshots or AMIs retain attributes such as prior to deletion and can be used immediately for creating volumes or launching instances. Snapshots and AMIs that are not recovered from the Recycle Bin are permanently deleted upon expiration of the retention time.
Recycle Bin with IPv6 and AWS PrivateLink is now available in all AWS Regions including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
To learn more about configuring Recycle Bin endpoints for IPv6, please refer to our documentation.
