AbstractSince the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology, the promise has been that it will improve health care and reduce costs. Has AI been able to fulfill that promise? We describe six clinical objectives that can be supported by AI: a more efficient workflow, shortened reading time, a reduction of dose and contrast agents, earlier detection of disease, improved diagnostic accuracy and more personalized diagnostics. We provide examples of use cases including the available scientific evidence for its impact based on a hierarchical model of efficacy. We conclude that the market is still maturing and little is known about the contribution of AI to clinical practice. More real-world monitoring of AI in clinical practice is expected to aid in determining the value of AI and making informed decisions on development, procurement and reimbursement.

Biomedical engineering is the blend of engineering and medical science, professional with a combination of knowledge of various engineering discipline to improve health care and quality of life. While biomedical engineering formally came up as major course in 1950s, the course started in Nepal just a decade back with its importance being acknowledged and biomedical engineers have been recruited by various institutes. Accounting for artificial intelligence, robotic surgery, 3-d printing, which are believed to be the future of medical science, it is necessary to strengthen the biomedical engineering. This article aims to highlight the overview as well as opportunities and challenges of biomedical engineering in Nepal.
