Building the Future of Radiology Through Artificial Intelligence: Uzbekistan National Efforts and Innovations
Аннотация
Artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly reshaping the field of radiology across Asia and Oceania, contributing to enhanced diagnostic precision, optimization of workflow processes, and improved accessibility to imaging services in metropolitan and in underserved regions.Globally, the integration of AI into radiological practice continues to accelerate, propelled by advances in deep learning algorithms, the expansion of large-scale imaging datasets, and the establishment of standardized frameworks for clinical validation and reimbursement.In 2023, the Ministry of Innovative Development of the Uzbekistan implemented 511 innovative projects worth over 176 billion soums (USD 14 million).The primary areas that received funding were: medicine, the agricultural sector, architecture, metallurgy, and energy.A key priority project, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers in July 2025, is focussed on the development of image analysis in radiology (AI software for computed tomography [CT] and X-ray).
