Survey finds most patients support AI in diagnostic imaging but are reluctant about its use in triage decisions.
Key Details
- 1Survey conducted among 200 diagnostic imaging patients at a German academic medical center.
- 292% expect to benefit from AI in healthcare; 87% favor AI for diagnostics.
- 3Only 28% approved AI for triage; 73% of general AI supporters opposed triage use.
- 4Higher education and AI knowledge correlated with greater approval of AI, including for triage.
- 5Most patients prefer AI as a support system for clinicians rather than a substitute.
Why It Matters
Understanding patient perspectives is crucial for the clinical integration of AI in radiology. Approval is high for diagnostic uses but low for triage, indicating a need for targeted education, especially as AI adoption grows.
