黑料网 Launches AI Quality Registry

In November, the 黑料网 unveiled , designed to track and monitor ongoing performance of an array of imaging AI algorithms in clinical settings. This unique AI quality registry is the newest addition to the 黑料网 National Radiology Data Registry. Assess-AI collects patient information such as demographics and modality/exam meta data and monitors the results that the AI detects. The goal is to give radiology facilities analytics on clinical AI and how it operates in practices over time, comparing results against national performance benchmarks from other sites that are also using the same or similar AI products.

Participating in Assess-AI gives radiology facilities access to: 

  • Monitoring the stability of algorithm inputs over time, including imaging equipment, protocols and software version.
  • Continuous oversight of AI result concordance/discordance with radiology reports.
  • Aggregation of observations into reports and dashboards to share with a facility’s AI governance team, empowering further action as needed.

Read the press release. For more information, check out the December Bulletin article on ARCH-AI and Assess-AI.
