The healthcare sector has been on a journey to use advanced analytics to improve all aspects of their business for quite some time. This includes everything from operations, diagnostics, and research to risk assessments. Artificial Intelligence (AI), and more specifically deep learning, is one of those advanced analytics tools. Radiologists, for example, are benefiting from the advances in deep learning algorithms, with most of the data they collect already in a digital format. The digital composition makes it easier to be processed with AI algorithms, thus turning medical centers and hospitals into places where computer vision technology becomes part of how radiologists augment their work.

Another promising area AI and deep learning are being used is in assisted diagnostics. Radiology images are huge, complex, and include things like CT scans, PET scans, and MRIs
