Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) enhances the practice of chest imaging by improving diagnostic accuracy, streamlining workflows, and facilitating personalized patient care. As a powerful tool, AI augments the expertise of radiologists, enabling more precise evaluations and quicker decision-making. This article examines the barriers to AI adoption in chest imaging, focusing on challenges related to bias, transparency, accountability, and data privacy. We discuss the ethical implications of AI-driven decision-making, particularly concerning fairness, and propose strategies to address these concerns. Additionally, we explore regulatory obstacles, including the approval pathways for AI algorithms and the need for continuous learning and adaptability in clinical settings. We also address practical considerations, such as the integration of AI tools into existing workflows, model generalizability, and economic factors. The article concludes with recommendations for responsible AI adoption, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, robust validation frameworks, and continuous education for radiologists. By navigating these challenges, the radiology community can effectively leverage AI’s potential, ultimately leading to enhanced patient outcomes and improved diagnostic processes.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Roentgenology is designed primarily for the practicing radiologist and for the resident. Each quarterly issue compiled by a leading guest editor covers a single topic of current importance. The clinical, pathological, and roentgenologic aspects are emphasized, while research and techniques are discussed insofar as they provide documentation and clarification of the subject under discussion. This Seminars series is of interest to radiologists, sonographers, and radiologic technicians.
