Many women remain unclear about the role of AI in breast imaging, creating hesitation toward its adoption.
Key Details
- 1A survey of 130 women at six urban hospitals explored attitudes towards AI in breast imaging.
- 2Patients included those undergoing screening, diagnostic imaging (DBT, ultrasound, MRI), and biopsies.
- 3Most respondents had heard of AI in radiology but were unclear about its impact on care.
- 4General optimism was observed, but concerns remained about privacy, empathy, bias, and accuracy.
- 5Prior studies show similar mixed sentiments in other modalities, such as prostate MRI.
Why It Matters
Understanding patient perceptions is vital to the successful implementation and acceptance of AI tools in radiology. Addressing patient concerns and clarifying the role of AI could help radiologists increase trust and facilitate patient-centered care.
