Title of the proposal: Computer Visioning and Artificial Intelligence for Radiology: Challenges,
Difficulties and Criteria Successful for early Diagnostics
Section 2: Abstract.
Radiology is a field of medicine that concentrates on the identification and treatment of
maladies using visualization methods. It has grown to be a vital part of clinical practice and an
integral component of modern medicine. It includes recommendations for therapy and continuing
disease care, extending beyond simple disease identification. A patient's health can be visually
documented, treatment can be monitored, and quick therapeutic interventions can be guided with
the aid of examinations such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),
positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound, and X-rays. By streamlining treatment
tailoring, enhancing the results of therapy, and minimizing adverse reactions, medical imaging
has a substantial effect on patient care. Medical imaging allows these intricate perspectives on
physiological, molecular, and anatomical disease processes. Artificial intelligence and computer
vision have become increasingly important in medicine over the past decade, especially in image
technology. Artificial intelligence and computer vision are used in radiology and image
modalities in medical applications. Various imaging modalities, such as radiography, ultrasound,
dermoscopy, and computer tomography, offer several chances for building automated systems
that aid in the diagnosis, focussing on the unique properties of AI. There is a good chance that
such technologies will have a big effect on public health. General practitioners can to use these
technologies to expand their capacities and standardize decision-making processes, especially in
areas where a shortage of medical professionals is reportedly present. In spite of these benefits,
there are always certain difficulties to be overcome, and whenever the performance data is
updated across several applications, there is always space for improvement. One of the intrinsic
difficulties in integrating AI into imaging is that the literature has not yet clarified what the
ultimate goal of AI techniques in imaging will be, nor how they will affect radiologists or
diagnosis. Through qualitative design, the proposed study explores future developments,
challenges, and difficulties that computer vision and artificial intelligence may face over the
coming years. The study aims to establish success criteria to build systems to solve more
complex problems that assist in early medical diagnosis. Due to the study's exploratory nature,
the study proposed to adopt a qualitative approach using an integrative systematic literature
review and interviewing experts, specialists, and practitioners on the use of artificial intelligence
in medical practice. The qualitative content analysis will be used as a suitable method for data
analysis. Section 3: Proposal Key words: artificial intelligence, computer vision, medical diagnosis,

Section 7: Background and Motivation
Background information and the current challenges
: While the exact role of AI in imaging applications is unknown, it is often preferable to
perform research on smaller, more uniform, and more well-defined populations. In order to
properly address the patient numbers issue, the population under investigation needs to be clearly
established. (Thrall et al., 2018)
.
AI applications typically demand significant training cases to
generate high quality, well-labelled training data sets. Institutional racism, racial discrimination,
xenophobia related intolerance, along legally enforceable rights may limit access to image data
among institutions. Failure to create a sufficiently large training set is a possible overfitting risk
that may lead to invalid or ungeneralisable results (Cho et al., 2015)
. The pitfall of overfitting
was noted previously (Jyotiyana & Kesswani, 2021)
. AI programs can introduce errors when
applied to a set of image data that does not use the same protocol used during training. On a
superficial level, if AI application in radiology was trained using the English language, it might
not work but with extra training if it is given data in a different language. Similar considerations
apply to the tolerance or latitude, as no information is available on how much latitude AI
programs have to accommodate changes in image acquisition protocols (Dash et al., 2020). Why is it important?
The biggest obstacle to the application of AI in medical imaging might be AI's intrinsic
limitations in differentiating between normal and pathological biological data. Normal ranges
usually indicate a specific number of standard deviations from the population mean that is
supposedly average. As such, "abnormal" results for all tests and measurements will be found in
a given ratio of actually normal individuals. It will be difficult to define normal and abnormal
nominal criteria when, for example, defining limitations for organ sizes, will present a dilemma
for researchers studying artificial intelligence.
What is the problem or question you are trying to solve?
One of the inherent difficulties in incorporating AI into imaging is that the literature has not yet
established what the ultimate goal of AI techniques in imaging will be, nor how they impact
radiologists or diagnosis. Nevertheless, the research still lacks clarity regarding the ultimate or

maximum use of AI techniques in imaging, their effect on radiologists, and their importance for
early diagnosis. The goal of the project is to develop success criteria for systems that will be used
to address more complicated issues and aid in early medical diagnosis.
Literature review: What is state of the art in this area of research?
In medical applications, AI and CV are utilised in radiology and image modalities (Esteva et al.,
2021). Such technologies are likely to have a significant impact on public health. General
practitioners will be able to leverage these technologies to increase their capabilities and
standardise decision-making processes, particularly in areas where a lack of medical specialists
is reported (Lee & Yoon, 2021). However,
despite these advantages, some difficulties
experienced, and there is room for further
enhancement whenever the performance data is
updated across different applications (Olveres et
al., 2021). In spite of the rise of databases in the last decade, there remains a need for even more
information to support the developing and implementing of reliable methods of integrating AI
and CV in radiology and image modalities for medical diagnosis (Kelly et al., 2019). In the
medical field, databases must be annotated by experts. Publicly available benchmark datasets can
provide valuable insights into existing methodologies for comparing approaches, discovering
helpful strategies, and providing guidance for developing new methodologies (Olveres et al.,
2021). Some factors are responsible for the lack of updated benchmark databases. It is a common
occurrence that the research data is not accessible for all, with limitations in clinical settings and
Figure 1 the relation among AI, ML, DL and CV
in medical imaging
a shortage of medical experts willing to provide annotations on large volumes of information
(Kauppi et al., 2013).
Despite years of effort assessing the efficacy of various approaches used in the medical
sector, there is a notable deficiency in sufficient and well-balanced data when compared to the
abundance of publicly accessible datasets in other domains, including Google's Open Images
datasets. (Olveres et al., 2021). New medical workflows are needed to solve the problems
described in this proposal. However, encouraging research into exploring challenges in adapting
new artificial intelligence methods that rely less on big data and require less computationally
(L’heureux et al., 2017). In the medical sector, cross-domain and cross-modal training and enhancement are
needed, even though augmenting data and transfer learning are often used to small datasets, such
as malware picture classification. (Marastoni et al., 2021). The emergence of the meta-learning
paradigm is proving to be an exciting development in machine learning (Clune, 2019).
Specifically, this creates a novel opportunity to deal with the limitation of the data set in medical
imaging (Singh et al., 2021). Advances in CV and IA would potentially reward radiologists and biotechnology
researchers with vast amounts of data, but not necessarily the ability to use these complex data
effectively (Obermeyer & Emanuel, 2016)
. An ultimate goal for the imaging community is to
create value in patient care, particularly in the delivery of radiology services, like improving
diagnostic accuracy, reducing radiologists' turnaround time, providing results to patients within a
short time, and reducing the cost of care with better outcomes (Chockley & Emanuel, 2016)
.
The imaging community faces many opportunities and challenges and is developing its
own AI methods. These include establishing a common nomenclature, sharing image data more
efficiently, and authenticating AI programs across many imaging platforms and patient
populations (Ravì et al., 2016)
. By using CV, AI can extract radiometric details from images in a
way not obtainable by visual inspection, which can greatly enhance how image datasets can be
used for diagnostic or prognostic purposes (Mei et al., 2020). An IA surveillance program could
aid radiologists in prioritising their worklists if they can identify rare or positive cases for more
rapid diagnosis. Through artificial intelligence, imaging will be more certain, turnaround time will be
reduced, patient outcomes will be improved, and radiographers' working conditions will improve
(van Leeuwen et al., 2021)
. Artificial intelligence promises novel and advanced techniques for
image data analysis. Using artificial intelligence in medical applications is likely to involve
radiologists exploring these new treatments. In the imaging industry, AI is playing an
increasingly significant role and is attracting interest from the wider community (Lee & Yoon,
2021)
. The use of AI was predicted to eliminate the need for radiologists. Although the safety of
AI tactics has been overblown, radiologists
are likely to benefit from incorporating them into
their practices (Pesapane et al., 2020)
. However, currently, it is challenging to obtain technical
expertise and computing power, both of which will take time (Iqbal et al., 2021)
. AI's full or final role in imaging, or how it will influence or affect radiologists, is still
being developed (Ahuja, 2019)
. The clear implication is that AI provides a promising array of
techniques for image analysis. These tools could positively influence the study of image data in
the future. These tools should be explored vigorously (Raoof et al., 2021)
.

There are circumstantial and intrinsic challenges associated with the potential for AI in
medicine (Currie et al., 2019)
. Circumstantial challenges depend on societal behaviour, while
inherent challenges depend on technology and science. Even if none of these challenges stands in
the way of AI progress in medicine, they should be addressed (Sureka, 2021)
.
Radiology, as a speciality, has faced as many circumstantial challenges
as any other
speciality in medicine. This is because there has been rapid technological change. Despite the
advantages of working with digital systems, the adoption of artificial intelligence in radiology
may face cultural barriers based on concerns that machines will replace radiologists (Pesapane et
al., 2018)
. Obermeyer and Emanuel (2016)
predicted that soon, radiologists and anatomic
pathologists will be displaced by machine learning for much of their work, and the accuracy of
machines will soon surpass that of humans. Chockley and Emanuel (2016)
also stated that an
ML-driven future might lead to the demise of radiology as a thriving speciality within five to ten
years.
Another concern for automated medical imaging methods is the need for a strong source
of truth per diagnosis in any potential artificial intelligence program, whether the learning is
supervised or unsupervised (Di Noto et al., 2020)
. Patients' results or the outcomes of other
standard tests other than the imaging method being studied can be considered sources of truth.
However, each artificial intelligence program must be specified explicitly as to the source of
truth it uses (Sureka, 2021)
.
In addition, the current medical institutions lack conventional
computing systems that provide results within a short time in a clinically pertinent time frame in
an emergency or urgent diagnosis (Organization, 2020; Thrall et al., 2018)
. It is necessary for practising radiologists to become familiar with artificial intelligence
(Tang et al., 2018)
. Still, they are not required to become experts in artificial intelligence research
and algorithm design to use AI-based results effectively (Thrall et al., 2018)
. In terms of
equipment and software, there are significant upfront costs associated with AI. AI programs are
likely to significantly impact clinical decisions based on FDA approval (Asan et al., 2020)
.
However, little information is available on how AI programs will be validated or if and how
individuals will be credentialed in their use. A second concern is the question of liability arising
from AI programs' "black box" nature. Defining data ownership and determining who may use
data will be a legal issue within institutions (Thrall et al., 2018)
.

legitimate, can be utilized in AI imaging programs, and have the same level of tolerance.
How are you going to do the work?
Through qualitative design, the study will explore emergent trends, challenges, and
difficulties that computer vision and artificial intelligence may encounter in the near future. It
is an exploratory study of the literature and opinions informed by experts, specialists and
professional's practitioners of fellows and trainees of speciality colleges, such as
ophthalmology, radiology/radiation oncology, and dermatology in Australian universities.
Why will this approach be successful?
The literature review and interviews appear to be the most appropriate methods for
conducting this research. Reviewing the literature provides a holistic approach to data
collection for a comprehensive overview of artificial intelligence applications that apply to
some of the most crucial global medical challenges and diseases (Di Vaio et al., 2020).
