How AI is Helping Manage Radiology’s Data Deluge

Penn Medicine is tackling the growing radiologist shortage and imaging demand by strategically deploying large language models (LLMs) to enhance radiology workflows. Through its AInSights initiative, Penn integrates AI-driven tools to automate image analysis, streamline report generation, and summarize patient charts—reducing radiologist burnout and improving diagnostic accuracy. LLMs help prioritize critical cases and support clinical decisions, while safeguards like post-deployment monitoring and human oversight ensure safe, bias-free implementation. With LLMs now being used to trigger decision support and improve follow-up accuracy, Penn’s focus remains on sustainable impact, not hype. Their approach exemplifies how thoughtful AI adoption can transform radiology without compromising patient care or clinician trust.
