Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have been developed to identify vertebral fractures through reanalysis of existing CT scans. This study describes a real-world case study of the deployment of an AI solution in the NHS, from information governance (IG) and technology (IT) perspectives, to inform best practice recommendations. Five NHS hospitals were selected to deploy the Nanox AI solution t…
