The role of AI in mitigating the impact of radiologist shortages: a systematised review.
Purpose: This study aims to explore the application of Artificial intelligence (AI) systems in radiology departments and the role they play in the shortage of radiologists. It examines the ethical and legal considerations for uptake of AI both in relation to patient safety and for the profession of radiology.
Methods: A systematised review was selected for this research study to collect maximum relevant evidence that provides a comprehensive overview of AI application in radiology specifically in terms of addressing radiologist shortages in hospitals. The search was complemented by grey literature to fill potential gaps.
Results: Findings suggest that AI can read and interpret images more effectively and faster than radiologists and that it could be more widely used to reduce the impact of the global radiologist shortage, leading to better patient outcomes and safety. However, there are potential challenges predominantly ethical and legal. Concerns over complete radiologist replacement by AI do not currently seem likely, but rather the use of AI to complement radiologists in their work.
Conclusions: AI cannot replace radiologists, instead radiology services will need the input of radiologists, AI systems and radiographers to provide a safe healthcare for all patients, therefore they are complementary. Radiologist jobs will most probably change to reduce repetitive tasks that can be conducted by AI. Radiologists and radiographers play a role in the provision of quality care in both normal day-to-day events and during times of disaster. Their role in diagnosing and prognosing diseases provides guidance during preparedness, response and recovery.
期刊介绍：
Health and Technology is the first truly cross-disciplinary journal on issues related to health technologies addressing all professions relating to health, care and health technology.The journal constitutes an information platform connecting medical technology and informatics with the needs of care, health care professionals and patients. Thus, medical physicists and biomedical/clinical engineers are encouraged to write articles not only for their colleagues, but directed to all other groups of readers as well, and vice versa.By its nature, the journal presents and discusses hot subjects including but not limited to patient safety, patient empowerment, disease surveillance and management, e-health and issues concerning data security, privacy, reliability and management, data mining and knowledge exchange as well as health prevention. The journal also addresses the medical, financial, social, educational and safety aspects of health technologies as well as health technology assessment and management, including issues such security, efficacy, cost in comparison to the benefit, as well as social, legal and ethical implications.This journal is a communicative source for the health work force (physicians, nurses, medical physicists, clinical engineers, biomedical engineers, hospital engineers, etc.), the ministries of health, hospital management, self-employed doctors, health care providers and regulatory agencies, the medical technology industry, patients'' associations, universities (biomedical and clinical engineering, medical physics, medical informatics, biology, medicine and public health as well as health economics programs), research institutes and professional, scientific and technical organizations.Health and Technology is jointly published by Springer and the IUPESM (International Union for Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine) in cooperation with the World Health Organization.
