We are one of the strongest artificial intelligence programs in the nation with at least 12 pixel-based AI programs in use and many workflow-based algorithms as well. We value outreach to our communities through a mobile mammography van, a mobile stroke unit, and one of the nation's largest Lung Cancer Screening programs.
We highly value research with a long history of innovation, even back to the development of contrast materials and echocardiography. Ultrasound and optics are a significant area of strength. We are also national leaders in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
