Radiology leaders outline role-separation models for integrating AI into diagnostic workflows.
Key Details
- 1Editorial published in Radiology advocates clear division of duties between AI and radiologists.
- 2Proposes three models: case allocation, doctor-first sequential, and AI-first sequential.
- 3Case allocation model suggests triaging cases by complexity for AI, radiologists, or both.
- 4Doctor-first model keeps radiologist as initial decision-maker, assisted by AI in reporting and recommendations.
- 5AI-first sequential model involves AI handling initial context, with radiologist interpreting afterward, but has current limitations.
- 6Authors recommend establishing clinical certification pathways for AI systems.
Why It Matters
Clear frameworks and role definition are essential as radiology departments adopt AI tools, mitigating risks like automation bias and optimizing human/AI collaboration. The proposal emphasizes the need for adaptable approaches, fostering safer, more effective diagnostic workflows.
