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.
