AI and mobile CT integration aims to boost rural healthcare access

A new review paper explores the integration of mobile computed tomography (CT) systems, telehealth, and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve healthcare access in rural and remote areas. While mobile CT, telehealth, and AI are individually mature technologies, their full integration faces barriers such as regulatory variations, connectivity issues, cost, and workflow integration. Future research should focus on prospective evaluations of these integrated systems in real-world, underserved clinical settings to demonstrate patient-level benefits. AI

IMPACT Enhances access to advanced medical diagnostics in underserved regions by integrating AI with mobile imaging and telehealth.
