Theoretical insights and practical guidance for effective AI implementation

VNAI

In the rapidly advancing field of AI in radiology, where implementation remains a challenge, two recent publications are worthy of note, as they provide a rich mix of theoretical insights and practical guidance for effective integration.

  • Developing, Purchasing, Implementing, and Monitoring AI Tools in Radiology: Practical Considerations. A Multi-Society Statement from the ACR, CAR, ESR, RANZCR & RSNA
    This comprehensive statement, collaboratively issued by Radiology Societies from the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, delves into the practical challenges and ethical considerations of integrating AI into radiology. It meticulously discusses the critical aspects that developers, regulatory authorities, and AI technology purchasers must consider prior to clinical deployment. The paper also offers strategies for monitoring the reliability, safety, and suitability of these AI tools for potential autonomous use in clinical settings. An essential read for professionals in the field!
