Articles from Digital Diagnostics journal published by Healthcare Department Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine downloaded in China over 9,000 times

The 10 th issue of Digital Diagnostics, a healthcare academic journal published by Moscow Healthcare Department Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine has recently been released. It presents clinical cases that were of particular interest to doctors and original research, along with nine topical articles, including “Artificial intelligence systems in clinical physiology: how do we make their learning effective?” The editorial board have analyzed the journal’s foreign audience and discovered that its articles were downloaded most often from China. USA were the runner-ups, while Germany was third. That was revealed by Yuri Vasilyev, Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine Director, chief invited expert in radiography and instrumental diagnostics, Moscow Healthcare Department.

“Today, thanks to Digital Diagnostics, we have published over 80 healthcare research papers, fully translated to English and Chinese. The hottest topic among our publications is artificial intelligence and its use in healthcare. For example, the most popular article in the entire history of the journal, “MosMedData: a dataset of 1,110 CT chest scans taken during the COVID-19 pandemic” was referenced by 43 foreign researchers. According to analysts from Digital Diagnostics editorial board, China, one of the key science partners of Russia in Asia, was the leader in downloading papers published in the journal. Russia and China have mutual interest in each other’s experience related to introducing artificial intelligence into healthcare. In two years of the journal’s existence, its articles have been downloaded from China over 9,000 times,” said Mr. Vasilyev.

Digital Diagnostics is an academic journal published by Moscow Healthcare Department Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine. Professor Li, a Beijing-based researcher, Doctor of Medicine, head of healthcare radiology center, healthcare radiology and nuclear medicine department, is a member of the journal’s editorial board. All abstracts in the printed version of the journal have a Chinese translation; articles in the digital version are fully translated.

“The interest to neural network systems is understandable: machine vision implementation in healthcare is one of the most promising development vectors today. Our experience in that field is considerable: for three years, our Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine has been running an experiment on introducing machine vision to radiology. In that time, neural networks have processed over 9 million images. Thanks to the experiment, we were able to develop and implement unique science-based methods that enabled us to prepare over 200 benchmark datasets and approve 11 national standards for using artificial intelligence in healthcare. Ten of those standards are already in force. We are happy that our Chinese colleagues are interested in the results of our efforts,” said Anton Vladzimirsky, Vice-Director for Research, Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine.

In March 2023, Digital Diagnostics was listed by Scopus, a multi-disciplinary abstract and citation database. The journal publishes original research, periodic science reviews, technical reports, clinical case studies and other diagnostic and IT materials intended for the healthcare community. Articles are published in three languages: Russian, Chinese and English.

The Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine is a leading practical research and telemedicine branch of the Moscow Social Development Complex and Healthcare Department. They have been in charge of improving radiology and instrumental diagnostics in Moscow for 26 years. The Center is focused on AI technologies in healthcare, radiology diagnostics and organizational development of healthcare institutions, telemedicine included.
