Multi-modality AI in medicine
Generic
Unlike most AI, which focuses on and is trained for handling just one specific modality, multimodal AI models can handle different modalities such as image, text, and speech at the same time, in addition to narrow and specific tasks. This means that, if and when multi-modality AI progresses to the point where it can deploy on a vast scale, it will truly revolutionize medicine and many other fields.

Deep generative models deploy in radiology
New era
Generative models are hot items in tech news today. Stable Diffusion and Midjourney - which create amazing artwork - and ChatGPT, which writes excellent essays for an input prompt - have astounded many. Similar models are also in the works for healthcare - especially for radiology - to address their real-world challenges. ML developer and medical student Moein Shariatnia sketches a brief history of deep generative models and explains how they work and their use in medical imaging.
