The ability to “see” of IBM’s Watson supercomputer is gradually perfect when recently, IBM invested than $ 1 billion to acquire the medical imaging group Merge Healthcare.
Does Watson enough strong to replace human doctors in the future?
The power of Watson has been recognized by the "guy" is in the hands of a huge amount of data about the medicine, although Watson's performance is limited in that it can only analyze the the data it receives from the medical records of people while the images taken of patients screened almost have not been exploited fully.
With the introduction of Merge Healthcare to serve Watson, IBM is moving toward a "almighty doctor”. Namely, when it scans an MRI image, the patient will almost immediately receive diagnostic results and prescription.
Vice president of IBM's advanced research, John Kelly, said the medical diagnostic image data accounted for 90% of medical findings. This means that what Watson learned only meets 10% of what people need in it. A doctor can usually see several hundred pictures of X-rays or MRI every day but it will be difficult for him to remember all the details of each photograph but Watson is another story .
John Kelly insisted Watson will be able to remember at least 10 thousand X-ray images in a second and remember every detail of that if this $ 1 billion program is completed, it is likely to be a another leap of the health sector in the future.
