Explore how Cadabra Studio tackled the challenge of creating an AI solution for spine MRI that supports radiologists while fostering trust and adoption in clinical settings. Our approach centered around designing a specialized AI pipeline involving U-Net, multi-label classifiers, and RegNetY32GF to process lumbar spinal stenosis efficiently. We emphasized transparency through Grad-CAM visualizations and other explainability features, ensuring that clinicians understand and trust AI outputs. Our user-centric design, built in collaboration with doctors, seamlessly integrates into existing workflows.
While our solution shows promising adoption, we faced the tradeoff between latency and transparency, introducing dual operating modes to empower clinician choice. As we pilot our solution further, the question of optimizing explainability versus speed in healthcare AI remains pertinent. How do we measure trust, and when does clarity outweigh rapidity? Let's discuss these crucial issues and share insights on integrating AI into medical practice.
