Abstract

Systems and methods for processing electronic imaging data obtained from medical imaging procedures, with use of trained artificial intelligence (AI) models, are disclosed herein. In an example, a use of a medical evaluation workflow involving an AI model includes: obtaining image data and non-image data associated with a medical imaging study; using at least one AI model to analyze the image data, with the trained AI model being validated with a defined governance standard to identify a characteristic or particular type of characteristic; identifying the characteristic with the AI model; and communicating the identified characteristic to a location associated with evaluation of the medical imaging study.
