The use of systems based on artificial intelligence (AI) offers opportunities to relieve the burden on radiologists. The AI systems are usually optimized for a radiological area. Radiologists must understand the basic features of its technical function in order to be able to assess the weaknesses and possible errors of the system and use the strengths of the system. This \"explainability\" creates trust in an AI system and shows its limits.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong> Based on an expanded Medline search for the key words \"radiology, artificial intelligence, referring physician interaction, patient interaction, job satisfaction, communication of findings, expectations\", subjective additional relevant articles were considered for this narrative review.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong> The use of AI is well advanced, especially in radiology. The programmer should provide the radiologist with clear explanations as to how the system works. All systems on the market have strengths and weaknesses. Some of the optimizations are unintentionally specific, as they are often adapted too precisely to a certain environment that often does not exist in practice - this is known as \"overfitting\". It should also be noted that there are specific weak points in the systems, so-called \"adversarial examples\", which lead to fatal misdiagnoses by the AI even though these cannot be visually distinguished from an unremarkable finding by the radiologist. The user must know which diseases the system is trained for, which organ systems are recognized and taken into account by the AI, and, accordingly, which are not properly assessed. This means that the user can and must critically review the results and adjust the findings if necessary. Correctly applied AI can result in a time savings for the radiologist. If he knows how the system works, he only has to spend a short amount of time checking the results. The time saved can be used for communication with patients and referring physicians and thus contribute to higher job satisfaction.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong> Radiology is a constantly evolving specialty with enormous responsibility, as radiologists often make the diagnosis to be treated.

The use of 3D printed models in patient care offers a wide range of possibilities in terms of personalized medicine, training and education of medical professionals, and communication with patients. DICOM files from imaging modalities such as CT and MRI provide the basis for the majority of the 3D models in medicine. The image acquisition, processing, and interpretation of these lies within the responsibility of radiology, which can therefore play a key role in the application and further development of 3D printing.The purpose of this review article is to provide an overview of the principles of 3D printing in medicine and summarize its most important clinical applications. It highlights the role of radiology as central to developing and administering 3D models in everyday clinical practice.This is a narrative review article on medical 3D printing that incorporates expert opinions based on the current literature and practices from our own medical centers.While the use of 3D printing is becoming increasingly established in many medical specialties in Germany and is finding its way into everyday clinical practice, centralized \"3D printing labs\" are a rarity in Germany but can be found internationally. These labs are usually managed by radiology departments, as radiology is a connecting discipline that - thanks to the imaging technology used to produce data for 3D printing - can play a leading role in the application of medical 3D printing. Copying this approach should be discussed in Germany in order to efficiently use the necessary resources and promote research and development in the future. · 3D printing in medicine is a rapidly growing field.. · Image acquisition and processing provides an important basis for high-quality 3D models.. · Radiology, as the specialist discipline responsible for imaging, has a crucial role to play.. · Radiology should play a leading role in the introduction of 3D printing in everyday clinical practice. . · Streckenbach A, Schubert N, Streckenbach F et al.
