Engaging with Artificial Intelligece

Artificial intelligence’s growing applications in radiology are leading to transformative change in this field of medicine. With this surge in AI implementation, there is also a growing sense of helplessness among radiological professionals, which should not be the case, according to researchers at three Canadian institutions.

As frontline healthcare professionals, radiologists have a better grasp on how changes in technology can impact both workflow and patient care, note Andrew Murphy, BMedImagingSc, MMIS, RT(R) and colleagues in their commentary published by the Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences.

Instead of being passive by simply watching from the sidelines as AI takes hold, Murphy and co-authors urge radiologists to take an active role as healthcare organisations adopt the technology.
