Impact of AI assistance on knee MRI reading time: A real-world multicenter study
European Journal of Radiology Artificial Intelligence, 2026
Abstract
Introduction: This study evaluates the impact of artificial intelligence assistance on knee MRI interpretation time in clinical practice.
Methods: A multicenter real-world study was conducted across multiple institutions to assess the efficiency gains provided by AI assistance in reading knee MRI scans.
Results: The implementation of AI assistance resulted in a 40% reduction in knee MRI reading time while maintaining diagnostic accuracy for conditions including meniscus and ligament tears and chondropathies.
Conclusion: AI assistance significantly improves workflow efficiency in musculoskeletal radiology without compromising diagnostic quality, demonstrating the practical benefits of AI integration in clinical settings.
