These advancements illustrate how rheumatologists, radiologists, computer scientists and others will likely collaborate in the future to make faster and more accurate diagnoses. The future appears bright for the use of artificial intelligence in rheumatology imaging, and this future may be fast approaching. It does not require a great deal of imagination to see how artificial intelligence can buttress human intelligence and help doctors and patients in our quest to think smarter and faster.
