Study: Patients Prefer AI in Radiology as Assistive, Not Standalone Tool
Tags:Research
Survey finds patients support AI-assisted radiology but not AI-only interpretations.
Key Details
- 1A survey of 1,041 Irish patients assessed attitudes toward AI in radiology at Beaumont Hospital, Dublin.
- 255.1% agreed AI use in healthcare is a good idea.
- 3Only 20.4% supported AI as a sole reader of imaging; 67.3% favored AI as an aid to radiologists.
- 4Over half (54%) want written consent if AI is used to interpret their images.
- 5Most (67.2%) still prefer a radiologist interprets their imaging, even if AI is more accurate.
- 670.9% are agreeable to using their images for AI research.
Why It Matters
These findings highlight the need for patient-centered AI integration, emphasizing transparency, consent, and collaboration between AI and radiologists, rather than full automation. Understanding patient trust is crucial for successful adoption of imaging AI in clinical practice.
