Radiologists Need to Take the Lead on AI for Imaging

The American College of Radiology (ACR) is leading efforts to validate AI tools in radiology, focusing on ensuring these technologies enhance real-world workflows. Dr. Bernardo Bizzo, Associate Chief Science Officer at ACR Data Science Institute (DSI), emphasizes the importance of radiologists driving AI development to maintain patient safety and clinical relevance. ACR's initiatives include Assess-AI, monitoring algorithm performance; ARCH-AI, establishing AI quality assurance guidelines; AI-Lab, educating radiologists on AI basics; and AI Central, a directory of imaging AI products. Programs like the Healthcare AI Challenge explore generative AI for drafting radiology reports. By testing tools across varying skill levels and emphasizing rigorous validation, ACR equips radiologists to leverage AI effectively, enhancing efficiency and diagnostic precision while benefiting patient care.
