Artificial intelligence (AI) software and simulation company Intelligent Ultrasound has partnered with National Imaging Academy Wales (NIAW) to develop AI tools for ultrasound scanning and education.
National Imaging Academy Wales was established in August 2018 and is funded by the Welsh government and National Health Service (NHS) Wales. Its mission is to address challenges that confront the diagnostic imaging workforce, Intelligent Ultrasound said.
More than 800 of Intelligent Ultrasound's ScanTrainer, HeartWorks, and BodyWorks Eve ultrasound simulators have been sold globally, including to NIAW and other U.K. radiology academies, according to the firm.
![A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.](https://img.auntminnieeurope.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-14-radiology-mammogram-ai-auto-bias.H0bYO8QlWs.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
