  "summary": "Three radiology units at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital in Durban have been upgraded with artificial intelligence (AI) technology, greatly improving patient safety and medical care. The new equipment will lessen radiation exposure for patients while assisting radiographers in creating clearer diagnostic images, and is expected to improve efficiency and potentially reduce waiting times for patients undergoing examinations. Hospital management thanked the Diagnostic Imaging Department, radiographers, radiologists, technical teams and other stakeholders who helped make the upgrades possible, and urged members of the public to take their health seriously and seek medical attention early.",
