Abstract

Artificial intelligence is the fast growing field of science, technology, and engineering. Artificial intelligence tries to mimic human intelligence capabilities such as understanding, learning, inferring, logic, problem solving, decision making and install these capabilities into machines, software, computer applications and computer programs. Artificial intelligence is used and implemented in many science, engineering and medical fields. The aim of this research paper is to investigate and introduce the role of the artificial intelligence in the medical field. Artificial intelligence is used in different sections in the medical field such as offering more accurate medical diagnoses, discovering new drugs, better medical data analysis, better patient care, better healthcare systems, electronic health records, clinical trial medicine, and diagnostic imaging analysis. The methodology used in this research paper was to identify and select research and technical papers related to the used of artificial intelligence in the field of medicine. The selected papers then were systematically reviewed. The findings of the paper showed that artificial intelligence is increasingly used in many areas of the medical field.
