For Timothy Yusuf, MD, consultant radiologist at King's College Hospital in London, working with the ACUSON Sequoia ultrasound system has been eye-opening. He describes the experience as one where he remains fully in control yet benefits from a helpful hand that supports his workflow.
Dr. Yusuf's main clinical specialties are general and interventional radiology, with a strong focus on abdominal imaging. He points out that introducing AI Abdomen has significantly benefited his daily practice. "When I started scanning with it, I suddenly noticed I had to do less," he says. This change lets him concentrate on his patients and the images that matter instead of routine tasks. He finds that labeling is now more accurate so that he can review images later without second guessing. "It meant that when I go back to look at my images, I didn’t have that second thought about, have I done this right?"
The system's reliability gives him confidence and peace of mind. Patient care is always at the forefront for Dr. Yusuf. He recognizes that every patient coming in for a scan faces some worry. By streamlining his workflow, he can spend more time with each individual, making their experience as comfortable as possible. "Having that one minute extra makes a difference in everyone’s days," he reflects.
Looking ahead, Dr. Yusuf describes AI Abdomen on board the ACUSON Sequoia as reliable and sees it as a step into the future. He believes these advancements will continue to shape how radiologists work and improve patient care.
