About ACR DSI

DSI collaborates with radiology professionals, industry leaders, government agencies, patients and other stakeholders in developing and implementing AI applications that will help improve patient care.

Our AI Lifecycle includes:

Defining clinically relevant use cases for the development of AI algorithms in medical imaging, interventional radiology and radiation oncology.
Establishing a methodology and providing tools and metrics for creating algorithm training, testing and validation data sets around these use cases.
Developing standardized pathways for implementing AI algorithms in clinical practice.
Creating opportunities for monitoring the effectiveness of AI algorithms in clinical practice.
Addressing the regulatory, legal and ethical issues associated with AI in medical imaging, interventional radiology, and radiation oncology.

On a Mission to Drive Innovation

ACR DSI's mission is to:

Leverage the value of radiology professionals through clinically relevant use case development and clinical workflow integration as AI evolves.
Ensure patient safety through algorithm validation and by advising government agencies, such as the FDA, to enhance the regulatory approval process in ways that benefit and protect patients.
Establish industry relationships by defining clinically valuable use cases, working with the FDA and other agencies to develop an effective regulatory process for algorithm approval, and creating pathways to integrate AI models into the clinical workflow.
Educate radiology professionals and other stakeholders about AI and ACR’s role in data science for the good of our patients.
