Six radiology organizations urge careful, tailored AI implementation in pediatric imaging through a joint statement.
Key Details
- 1Six professional societies, including the Society for Pediatric Radiology, issued a joint position statement.
- 2The statement highlights that most current AI tools focus on adults, not children.
- 3Key concerns include pediatric-specific physiology and clinical needs.
- 4The statement addresses four pillars: regulation/purchasing, implementation/integration, interpretation/surveillance, and education.
- 5Organizations involved include the American College of Radiology pediatric subcommittee, European and Asian societies, and others.
Why It Matters
Children have distinct imaging needs compared to adults, and improper application of AI could risk safety or efficacy. This guidance is significant for developers, clinicians, and purchasers to ensure appropriately tailored technologies.
