Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in healthcare, particularly in pulmonary diagnostics. This comprehensive review explores the impact of AI on revolutionizing lung imaging, focusing on its applications in detecting abnormalities, diagnosing pulmonary conditions, and predicting disease prognosis. We provide an overview of traditional pulmonary diagnostic methods and highlight the importance of accurate and efficient lung imaging for early intervention and improved patient outcomes. Through the lens of AI, we examine machine learning algorithms, deep learning techniques, and natural language processing for analyzing radiology reports. Case studies and examples showcase the successful implementation of AI in pulmonary diagnostics, alongside challenges faced and lessons learned. Finally, we discuss future directions, including integrating AI into clinical workflows, ethical considerations, and the need for further research and collaboration in this rapidly evolving field. This review underscores the transformative potential of AI in enhancing the accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility of pulmonary healthcare.Copyright © 2024, Sindhu et al.
