Deploying artificial intelligence in the detection of adult appendicular and pelvic fractures in the Singapore emergency department after hours: efficacy, cost savings and non-monetary benefits. Singapore Med J 2024:00077293-990000000-00134. [PMID: 39028972 DOI: 10.4103/singaporemedj.smj-2023-170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Radiology plays an integral role in fracture detection in the emergency department (ED). After hours, when there are fewer reporting radiologists, most radiographs are interpreted by ED physicians. A minority of these interpretations may miss diagnoses, which later require the callback of patients for further management. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been viewed as a potential solution to augment the shortage of radiologists after hours. We explored the efficacy of an AI solution in the detection of appendicular and pelvic fractures for adult radiographs performed after hours at a general hospital ED in Singapore, and estimated the potential monetary and non-monetary benefits. METHODS One hundred and fifty anonymised abnormal radiographs were retrospectively collected and fed through an AI fracture detection solution. The radiographs were re-read by two radiologist reviewers and their consensus was established as the reference standard. Cases were stratified based on the concordance between the AI solution and the reviewers' findings. Discordant cases were further analysed based on the nature of the discrepancy into overcall and undercall subgroups. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the accuracy, sensitivity and inter-rater reliability of the AI solution. RESULTS Ninety-two examinations were included in the final study radiograph set. The AI solution had a sensitivity of 98.9%, an accuracy of 85.9% and an almost perfect agreement with the reference standard. CONCLUSION An AI fracture detection solution has similar sensitivity to human radiologists in the detection of fractures on ED appendicular and pelvic radiographs. Its implementation offers significant potential measurable cost, manpower and time savings.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) of radiologists regarding artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging in the southeast of China. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted among radiologists in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian regions from October to December 2022. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect demographic data and assess the KAP of participants towards AI in medical imaging. A structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyze the relationships between KAP. Results The study included 452 valid questionnaires. The mean knowledge score was 9.01±4.87, the attitude score was 48.96±4.90, and 75.22% of participants actively engaged in AI-related practices. Having a master's degree or above (OR=1.877, P=0.024), 5-10 years of radiology experience (OR=3.481, P=0.010), AI diagnosis-related training (OR=2.915, P<0.001), and engaging in AI diagnosis-related research (OR=3.178, P<0.001) were associated with sufficient knowledge. Participants with a junior college degree (OR=2.139, P=0.028), 5-10 years of radiology experience (OR=2.462, P=0.047), and AI diagnosis-related training (OR=2.264, P<0.001) were associated with a positive attitude. Higher knowledge scores (OR=5.240, P<0.001), an associate senior professional title (OR=4.267, P=0.026), 5-10 years of radiology experience (OR=0.344, P=0.044), utilizing AI diagnosis (OR=3.643, P=0.001), and engaging in AI diagnosis-related research (OR=6.382, P<0.001) were associated with proactive practice. The SEM showed that knowledge had a direct effect on attitude (β=0.481, P<0.001) and practice (β=0.412, P<0.001), and attitude had a direct effect on practice (β=0.135, P<0.001). Conclusion Radiologists in southeastern China hold a favorable outlook on AI-assisted medical imaging, showing solid understanding and enthusiasm for its adoption, despite half lacking relevant training. There is a need for more AI diagnosis-related training, an efficient standardized AI database for medical imaging, and active promotion of AI-assisted imaging in clinical practice. Further research with larger sample sizes and more regions is necessary.

[PMID: 38974054 PMCID: PMC11227606 DOI: 10.1002/jeo2.12080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the perspective of orthopaedic surgeons on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and to evaluate the influence of experience, workplace setting and familiarity with digital solutions on views on AI. Methods Orthopaedic surgeons of the AGA Society for Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery were invited to participate in an online, cross-sectional survey designed to gather information on professional background, subjective AI knowledge, opinion on the future impact of AI, openness towards different applications of AI, and perceived advantages and disadvantages of AI. Subgroup analyses were performed to examine the influence of experience, workplace setting and openness towards digital solutions on perspectives towards AI. Results Overall, 360 orthopaedic surgeons participated. The majority indicated average (43.6%) or rudimentary (38.1%) AI knowledge. Most (54.5%) expected AI to substantially influence orthopaedics within 5-10 years, predominantly as a complementary tool (91.1%). Preoperative planning (83.8%) was identified as the most likely clinical use case. A lack of consensus was observed regarding acceptable error levels. Time savings in preoperative planning (62.5%) and improved documentation (81%) were identified as notable advantages while declining skills of the next generation (64.5%) were rated as the most substantial drawback. There were significant differences in subjective AI knowledge depending on participants' experience (p = 0.021) and familiarity with digital solutions (p < 0.001), acceptable error levels depending on workplace setting (p = 0.004), and prediction of AI impact depending on familiarity with digital solutions (p < 0.001). Conclusion The majority of orthopaedic surgeons in this survey anticipated a notable positive impact of AI on their field, primarily as an assistive technology. A lack of consensus on acceptable error levels of AI and concerns about declining skills among future surgeons were observed. Level of Evidence Level IV, cross-sectional study.

Abstract
Introduction In this cross-sectional study, the authors explored the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to artificial intelligence (AI) among medical students in Sudan. With AI increasingly impacting healthcare, understanding its integration into medical education is crucial. This study aimed to assess the current state of AI awareness, perceptions, and practical experiences among medical students in Sudan. The authors aimed to evaluate the extent of AI familiarity among Sudanese medical students by examining their attitudes toward its application in medicine. Additionally, this study seeks to identify the factors influencing knowledge levels and explore the practical implementation of AI in the medical field. Method A web-based survey was distributed to medical students in Sudan via social media platforms and e-mail during October 2023. The survey included questions on demographic information, knowledge of AI, attitudes toward its applications, and practical experiences. The descriptive statistics, χ2 tests, logistic regression, and correlations were analyzed using SPSS version 26.0. Results Out of the 762 participants, the majority exhibited a basic understanding of AI, but detailed knowledge of its applications was limited. Positive attitudes toward the importance of AI in diagnosis, radiology, and pathology were prevalent. However, practical application of these methods was infrequent, with only a minority of the participants having hands-on experience. Factors influencing knowledge included the lack of a formal curriculum and gender disparities. Conclusion This study highlights the need for comprehensive AI education in medical training programs in Sudan. While participants displayed positive attitudes, there was a notable gap in practical experience. Addressing these gaps through targeted educational interventions is crucial for preparing future healthcare professionals to navigate the evolving landscape of AI in medicine.

Radiologists' perceptions on AI integration: An in-depth survey study. Eur J Radiol 2024; 177:111590. [PMID: 38959557 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2024.111590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the perceptions and attitudes of radiologists toward the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical practice. METHODS A survey was conducted among members of the SIRM Lombardy. Radiologists' attitudes were assessed comprehensively, covering satisfaction with AI-based tools, propensity for innovation, and optimism for the future. The questionnaire consisted of two sections: the first gathered demographic and professional information using categorical responses, while the second evaluated radiologists' attitudes toward AI through Likert-type responses ranging from 1 to 5 (with 1 representing extremely negative attitudes, 3 indicating a neutral stance, and 5 reflecting extremely positive attitudes). Questionnaire refinement involved an iterative process with expert panels and a pilot phase to enhance consistency and eliminate redundancy. Exploratory data analysis employed descriptive statistics and visual assessment of Likert plots, supported by non-parametric tests for subgroup comparisons for a thorough analysis of specific emerging patterns. RESULTS The survey yielded 232 valid responses. The findings reveal a generally optimistic outlook on AI adoption, especially among young radiologist (<30) and seasoned professionals (>60, p<0.01). However, while 36.2 % (84 out 232) of subjects reported daily use of AI-based tools, only a third considered their contribution decisive (30 %, 25 out of 84). AI literacy varied, with a notable proportion feeling inadequately informed (36 %, 84 out of 232), particularly among younger radiologists (46 %, p < 0.01). Positive attitudes towards the potential of AI to improve detection, characterization of anomalies and reduce workload (positive answers > 80 %) and were consistent across subgroups. Radiologists' opinions were more skeptical about the role of AI in enhancing decision-making processes, including the choice of further investigation, and in personalized medicine in general. Overall, respondents recognized AI's significant impact on the radiology profession, viewing it as an opportunity (61 %, 141 out of 232) rather than a threat (18 %, 42 out of 232), with a majority expressing belief in AI's relevance to future radiologists' career choices (60 %, 139 out of 232). However, there were some concerns, particularly among breast radiologists (20 of 232 responders), regarding the potential impact of AI on the profession. Eighty-four percent of the respondents consider the final assessment by the radiologist still to be essential. CONCLUSION Our results indicate an overall positive attitude towards the adoption of AI in radiology, though this is moderated by concerns regarding training and practical efficacy. Addressing AI literacy gaps, especially among younger radiologists, is essential. Furthermore, proactively adapting to technological advancements is crucial to fully leverage AI's potential benefits. Despite the generally positive outlook among radiologists, there remains significant work to be done to enhance the integration and widespread use of AI tools in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND OF STUDY Over the past few decades, the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has surged in popularity, and its application in the medical field is witnessing a global increase. Nevertheless, the implementation of AI-based healthcare solutions has been slow in developing nations like Pakistan. This unique study aims to assess the opinion of clinical specialists on the future replacement of AI, its associated benefits, and its drawbacks in form southern region of Pakistan. MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional selective study was conducted from 140 clinical specialists (Surgery = 24, Pathology = 31, Radiology = 35, Gynecology = 35, Pediatric = 17) from the neglected southern Punjab region of Pakistan. The study was analyzed using χ2 - the test of association and the nexus between different factors was examined by multinomial logistic regression. RESULTS Out of 140 respondents, 34 (24.3%) believed hospitals were ready for AI, while 81 (57.9%) disagreed. Additionally, 42(30.0%) were concerned about privacy violations, and 70(50%) feared AI could lead to unemployment. Specialists with less than 6 years of experience are more likely to embrace AI (p = 0.0327, OR = 3.184, 95% C.I; 0.262, 3.556) and those who firmly believe that AI knowledge will not replace their future tasks exhibit a lower likelihood of accepting AI (p = 0.015, OR = 0.235, 95% C.I: (0.073, 0.758). Clinical specialists who perceive AI as a technology that encompasses both drawbacks and benefits demonstrated a higher likelihood of accepting its adoption (p = 0.084, OR = 2.969, 95% C.I; 0.865, 5.187). CONCLUSION Clinical specialists have embraced AI as the future of the medical field while acknowledging concerns about privacy and unemployment.

[PMID: 38535503 PMCID: PMC11080601 DOI: 10.2196/50803] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
Background The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine has been a trending subject in the past few years. Although not frequently used in daily practice yet, it brings along many expectations, doubts, and fears for physicians. Surveys can be used to help understand this situation. Objective This study aimed to explore the degree of knowledge, expectations, and fears on possible AI use by physicians in daily practice, according to sex and time since graduation. Methods An electronic survey was sent to physicians of a large hospital in Brazil, from August to September 2022. Results A total of 164 physicians responded to our survey. Overall, 54.3% (89/164) of physicians considered themselves to have an intermediate knowledge of AI, and 78.5% (128/163) believed that AI should be regulated by a governmental agency. If AI solutions were reliable, fast, and available, 77.9% (127/163) intended to frequently or always use AI for diagnosis (143/164, 87.2%), management (140/164, 85.4%), or exams interpretation (150/164, 91.5%), but their approvals for AI when used by other health professionals (85/163, 52.1%) or directly by patients (82/162, 50.6%) were not as high. The main benefit would be increasing the speed for diagnosis and management (106/163, 61.3%), and the worst issue would be to over rely on AI and lose medical skills (118/163, 72.4%). Physicians believed that AI would be useful (106/163, 65%), facilitate their work (140/153, 91.5%), not alter the number of appointments (80/162, 49.4%), not interfere in their financial gain (94/162, 58%), and not replace their jobs but be an additional source of information (104/162, 64.2%). In case of disagreement between AI and physicians, most (108/159, 67.9%) answered that a third opinion should be requested. Physicians with ≤10 years since graduation would adopt AI solutions more frequently than those with >20 years since graduation (P=.04), and female physicians were more receptive to other hospital staff using AI than male physicians (P=.008). Conclusions Physicians were shown to have good expectations regarding the use of AI in medicine when they apply it themselves, but not when used by others. They also intend to use it, as long as it was approved by a regulatory agency. Although there was hope for a beneficial impact of AI on health care, it also brings specific concerns.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Medical imaging is arguably the most technologically advanced field in healthcare, encompassing a range of technologies which continually evolve as computing power and human knowledge expand. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the next frontier which medical imaging is pioneering. The rapid development and implementation of AI has the potential to revolutionise healthcare, however, to do so, staff must be competent and confident in its application, hence AI readiness is an important precursor to AI adoption. Research to ascertain the best way to deliver this AI-enabled healthcare training is in its infancy. The aim of this scoping review is to compare existing studies which investigate and evaluate the efficacy of AI educational interventions for medical imaging staff. METHODS Following the creation of a search strategy and keyword searches, screening was conducted to determine study eligibility. This consisted of a title and abstract scan, then subsequently a full-text review. Articles were included if they were empirical studies wherein an educational intervention on AI for medical imaging staff was created, delivered, and evaluated. RESULTS Of the initial 1309 records returned, n = 5 (∼0.4 %) of studies met the eligibility criteria of the review. The curricula and delivery in each of the five studies shared similar aims and a 'flipped classroom' delivery was the most utilised method. However, the depth of content covered in the curricula of each varied and measured outcomes differed greatly. CONCLUSION The findings of this review will provide insights into the evaluation of existing AI educational interventions, which will be valuable when planning AI education for healthcare staff. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE This review highlights the need for standardised and comprehensive AI training programs for imaging staff.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing radiology by automating tasks and assisting in abnormality detection and understanding perceptions of medical students, radiology trainees, and radiologists is vital for preparing them for AI integration in radiology. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following established guidelines. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched up to March 5, 2023. Eligible studies reporting outcomes of interest were included, and relevant data were extracted and analyzed using STATA software version 17.0. RESULTS A meta-analysis of 21 studies revealed that 22.36% of individuals were less likely to choose radiology as a career due to concerns about advances in AI. Medical students showed higher rates of concern (31.94%) compared to radiology trainees and radiologists (9.16%) (P < .01). Radiology trainees and radiologists also demonstrated higher basic AI knowledge (71.84% vs 35.38%). Medical students had higher rates of belief that AI poses a threat to the radiology job market (42.66% vs 6.25%, P < .02). The pooled rate of respondents who believed that "AI will revolutionize radiology in the future" was 79.48%, with no significant differences based on participants' positions. The pooled rate of responders who believed in the integration of AI in medical curricula was 81.75% among radiology trainees and radiologists and 70.23% among medical students. CONCLUSION The study revealed growing concerns regarding the impact of AI in radiology, particularly among medical students, which can be addressed by revamping education, providing direct AI experience, addressing limitations, and emphasizing medico-legal issues to prepare for AI integration in radiology.

Abstract
The application of new technologies in medical education still lags behind the extraordinary advances of AI. This study examined the understanding, attitudes, and perspectives of Vietnamese medical students toward AI and its consequences, as well as their knowledge of existing AI operations in Vietnam. A cross-sectional online survey was administered to 1142 students enrolled in undergraduate medicine and pharmacy programs. Most of the participants had no understanding of AI in healthcare (1053 or 92.2 %). The majority believed that AI would benefit their careers (890 or 77.9 %) and that such innovation will be used to oversee public health and epidemic prevention on their behalf (882 or 77.2 %). The proportion of students with satisfactory knowledge significantly differed depending on gender (P < 0.001), major (P = 0.003), experience (P < 0.001), and income (P = 0.011). The percentage of respondents with positive attitudes significantly differed by year level (P = 0.008) and income (P = 0.003), and the proportion with favorable perspectives regarding AI varied considerably by age (P = 0.046) and major (P < 0.001). Most of the participants wanted to integrate AI into radiology and digital imaging training (P = 0.283), while the fifth-year students wished to learn about AI in medical genetics and genomics (P < 0.001, 4.0 ± 0.8). The male students had 1.898 times more adequate knowledge of AI than their female counterparts, and those who had attended webinars/lectures/courses on AI in healthcare had 4.864 times more adequate knowledge than those having no such experiences. The majority believed that the barrier to implementing AI in healthcare is the lack of financial resources (83.54 %) and appropriate training (81.00 %). Participants saw AI as a "partner" rather than a "competitor", but the majority of low knowledge was recorded. Future research should take into account the way to integrate AI into medical training programs for healthcare students.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To evaluate radiology residents' perspectives regarding inclusion of artificial intelligence/ machine learning (AI/ML) education in the residency curriculum. MATERIALS AND METHODS An online anonymous survey was sent to 759 residents at 21 US radiology residency programs. Resident demographics, sub-specialty interests, educational background and research experiences, as well as the awareness, availability, and usefulness of various resources for AI/ML education were collected. RESULTS The survey response rate was 27% (209/759). A total of 74% of respondents were male, 80% were training at large university programs, and only a minority (<20) had formal education or research experience in AI/ML. All four years of training were represented (range: 20%-38%). The majority of the residents agreed or strongly agreed (83%) that AI/ML education should be a part of the radiology residency curriculum and that such education should equip them with the knowledge to troubleshoot an AI tool in practice / determine whether a tool is working as intended (82%). Among the residency programs that offer AI/ML education, the most common resources were lecture series (43%), national informatics courses (28%), and in-house/institutional courses (26%). About 24% of the residents reported no AI/ML educational offerings in their residency curriculum. Hands on AI/ML laboratory (67%) and lecture series (61%) were reported as the most beneficial or effective. The majority of the residents preferred AI/ML education offered as a continuous course spanning the radiology residency (R1 to R4) (76%), followed by mini fellowship during R4 (32%) and as a course during PGY1 (21%). CONCLUSION Residents largely favor the inclusion of formal AI/ML education in the radiology residency curriculum, prefer hands-on learning and lectures as learning tools, and prefer a continuous AI/ML course spanning R1-R4.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the perceived impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies (ET) on various specialties by medical students in both 2017 and 2021 and how this might affect their residency selections. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a brief, anonymous survey of all medical students at a single institution in 2017 and 2021. Survey questions evaluated (1) incentives motivating residency selection and career path, (2) degree of interest in each specialty, (3) perceived effect that ET will have on job prospects for each specialty, and (4) those specialties that students would not consider because of concerns regarding ET. RESULTS A total of 72% (384/532) and 54% (321/598) of medical students participated in the survey in 2017 and 2021, respectively, and results were largely stable. Students perceived ET would reduce job prospects for pathology, diagnostic radiology, and anesthesiology, and enhance prospects for all other specialties (p < 0.01) except dermatology. For both surveys, 23% of students would NOT consider diagnostic radiology because ET would make it obsolete, higher than all other specialties (p < 0.01). Regarding the one student class that was surveyed twice, 50% felt ET would reduce job prospects for radiology in 2017, increasing to 71% in 2021 (p < 0.01), and similar percentages-20% in 2017 and 23% in 2021-said they explicitly would not consider radiology because of concerns levied by ET. CONCLUSIONS Current perceptions of ET likely affect residency selection for a large proportion of medical students and may impact the future of various specialties, particularly diagnostic radiology.

Abstract
Background The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based technologies in medicine is advancing rapidly especially in the field of radiology. This however, is at a slow pace in Africa, hence, this study to evaluate the perspectives of Ghanaian radiologists. Methods Data for this cross-sectional prospective study was collected between September and November 2021 through an online survey and entered into SPSS for analysis. A Mann-Whitney U test assisted in checking for possible gender differences in the mean Likert scale responses on the radiologists' perspectives about AI in radiology. Statistical significance was set at P ≤ 0.05. Results The study comprised 77 radiologists, with more males (71.4%). 97.4% were aware of the concept of AI, with their initial exposure via conferences (42.9%). The majority of the respondents had average awareness (36.4%) and below average expertise (44.2%) in radiological AI usage. Most of the participants (54.5%) stated, they do not use AI in their practices. The respondents disagreed that AI will ultimately replace radiologists in the near future (average Likert score = 3.49, SD = 1.096) and that AI should be an integral part of the training of radiologists (average Likert score = 1.91, SD = 0.830). Conclusion Although the radiologists had positive opinions about the capabilities of AI, they exhibited an average awareness of and below average expertise in the usage of AI applications in radiology. They agreed on the potential life changing impact of AI and were of the view that AI will not replace radiologists but serve as a complement. There was inadequate radiological AI infrastructure in Ghana.

[PMID: 37241062 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59050828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/22/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objective: The role of the pharmacist in healthcare society is unique, since they are providers of health information and medication counseling to patients. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate Awareness, Perceptions, and Opinions towards Artificial intelligence (AI) among pharmacy undergraduate students at King Saud University (KSU), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted between December 2022 and January 2023 using online questionnaires. The data collection was carried out using convenience sampling methods among senior pharmacy students at the College of Pharmacy, King Saud University. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26 was used to analyze the data (SPSS). Results: A total of one hundred and fifty-seven pharmacy students completed the questionnaires. Of these, most of them (n = 118; 75.2%) were males. About 42%, (n = 65) were in their fourth year of study. Most of the students (n = 116; 73.9%) knew about AI. In addition, 69.4% (n = 109) of the students thought that AI is a tool that helps healthcare professionals (HCP). However, more than half 57.3% (n = 90) of the students were aware that AI would assist healthcare professionals in becoming better with the widespread use of AI. Furthermore, 75.1% of the students agreed that AI reduces errors in medical practice. The mean positive perception score was 29.8 (SD = 9.63; range-0-38). The mean score was significantly associated with age (p = 0.030), year of study (p = 0.040), and nationality (p = 0.013). The gender of the participants was found to have no significant association with the mean positive perception score (p = 0.916). Conclusions: Overall, pharmacy students showed good awareness of AI in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the majority of the students had positive perceptions about the concepts, benefits, and implementation of AI. Moreover, most students indicated that there is a need for more education and training in the field of AI. Consequently, early exposure to content related to AI in the curriculum of pharmacy is an important step to help in the wide use of these technologies in the graduates' future careers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current technological developments in medical imaging are primarily focused on increasing the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into all medical imaging modalities. They are already considered capable of handling tasks such as image reconstruction, processing (denoising, segmentation), analysis, and predictive modeling. The purpose of this study is to assess the awareness (knowledge, attitudes, and practices) of radiologists and radiologic technologists regarding AI in medical imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional, qualitative study focuses on radiologists and radiologic technologists in Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Yemen. A self-administered questionnaire based on published studies was used to collect primary data. Version 25.0 of IBM SPSS Statistics (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY) was used for the statistical analysis. The demographics were summarized as frequency and percentage. Independent samples t-tests and ANOVA tests were used to evaluate and compare the degree of AI awareness among the study groups. RESULTS A total of 210 individuals completed the survey. According to demographic information, there were 134 (63.8%) radiologic technologists and 76 radiologists (36.2%). Of the participants, 131 (62%) were male, while 79 (37.6%) were female. A total of 130 (61.9%) of the targeted respondents had a positive attitude, 105 (50%) had appropriate practice, and 122 (58.1%) of them were informed (knowledgeable) about AI in medical imaging. There was a significant difference in knowledge awareness between radiologists and radiologic technologists (p-value: <0.05). Radiologists were more knowledgeable than radiologic technologists, and females were more knowledgeable than males (p-value: 0.049). For attitude awareness, there were no significant differences regarding specialization, gender, age, academic qualification, and experience (p-value > 0.05). Regarding practice awareness, it turned out that females are more knowledgeable than males (p-value: 0.007). Additionally, it was discovered that significant differences indicated that bachelor's degree holders have a higher level of practice awareness than diploma holders (p-value: <0.05). CONCLUSION Significant differences between the respondent's knowledge awareness regarding specialization, gender, and experience are linked with relatively sufficient AI-basic knowledge and positive attitude awareness among radiologists and radiologic technologists. Only half of the study participants had appropriate practical awareness; therefore, additional training could enhance practical awareness.

Development and validation of an educational software based in artificial neural networks for training in radiology (JORCAD) through an interactive learning activity. Heliyon 2023; 9:e14780. [PMID: 37025816 PMCID: PMC10070709 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e14780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The use of Computer Aided Detection (CAD) software has been previously documented as a valuable tool to improve specialist training in Radiology. This research assesses the utility of an educational software tool aimed to train residents in Radiology and other related medical specialties and students from Medicine degree. This in-house developed software, called JORCAD, integrates a CAD system based in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with annotated cases from radiological image databases. The methodology followed for software validation was expert judgement after completing an interactive learning activity. Participants received a theoretical session and a software usage tutorial and afterwards utilized the application in a dedicated workstation to analyze a series of proposed cases of thorax computed tomography (CT) and mammography. A total of 26 expert participants from the Radiology Department at Salamanca University Hospital (15 specialists and 11 residents) fulfilled the activity and evaluated different aspects through a series of surveys: software usability, case navigation tools, CAD module utility for learning and JORCAD educational capabilities. Participants also graded imaging cases to establish JORCAD usefulness for training radiology residents. According to the statistical analysis of survey results and expert cases scoring, along with their opinions, it can be concluded that JORCAD software is a useful tool for training future specialists. The combination of CAD with annotated cases from validated databases enhances learning, offering a second opinion and changing the usual training paradigm. Including software as JORCAD in residency training programs of Radiology and other medical specialties would have a positive effect on trainees' background knowledge.

Abstract
AIM To understand the attitudes of UK radiology trainees towards artificial intelligence (AI) in Radiology, in particular, assessing the demand for AI education. MATERIALS AND METHODS A survey, which ran over a period of 2 months, was created using the Google Forms platform and distributed via email to all UK training programmes. RESULTS The survey was completed by 149 trainee radiologists with at least one response from all UK training programmes. Of the responses, 83.7% were interested in AI use in radiology but 71.4% had no experience of working with AI and 79.9% would like to be involved in AI-based projects. Almost all (98.7%) felt that AI should be taught during their training, yet only one respondent stated that their training programme had implemented AI teaching. Respondents indicated that basic understanding, implementation, and critical appraisal of AI software should be prioritized in teaching. Of the trainees, 74.2% agreed that AI would enhance the job of diagnostic radiologists over the next 20 years. The main concerns raised were information technology/implementation and ethical/regulatory issues. CONCLUSION Despite the current limited availability of AI-based activities and teaching within UK training programmes, UK trainees' attitudes towards AI are mostly positive with many showing interest in being involved with AI-based projects, activities, and teaching.

Abstract
The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology has grown exponentially in the recent years. One of the primary worries by medical students is that AI will cause the roles of a radiologist to become automated and thus obsolete. Therefore, there is a greater hesitancy by medical students to choose radiology as a specialty. However, it is in this time of change that the specialty needs new thinkers and leaders. In this succinct viewpoint, 2 medical students involved in AI and 2 radiologists specializing in AI or clinical informatics posit that not only are these fears false, but the field of radiology will be transformed in such a way due to AI that there will be novel reasons to choose radiology. These new factors include greater impact on patient care, new space for innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, increased patient contact, becoming master diagnosticians, and greater opportunity for global health initiatives, among others. Finally, since medical students view mentorship as a critical resource when deciding their career path, medical educators must also be cognizant of these changes and not give much credence to the prevalent fearmongering. As the field and practice of radiology continue to undergo significant change due to AI, it is urgent and necessary for the conversation to expand from expert to expert to expert to student. Medical students should be encouraged to choose radiology specifically because of the changes brought on by AI rather than being deterred by it.

Abstract
Background and Aims This systematic review examined healthcare students' attitudes, knowledge, and skill in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Methods On August 3, 2022, studies were retrieved from the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses recommendations were followed. We included cross-sectional studies that examined healthcare students' knowledge, attitudes, skills, and perceptions of AI in this review. Using the eligibility requirements as a guide, titles and abstracts were screened. Complete texts were then retrieved and independently reviewed per the eligibility requirements. To collect data, a standardized form was used. Results Of the 38 included studies, 29 (76%) of healthcare students had a positive and promising attitude towards AI in the clinical profession and its use in he future; however, in nine of the studies (24%), students considered AI a threat to healthcare fields and had a negative attitude towards it. Furthermore, 26 studies evaluated the knowledge of healthcare students about AI. Among these, 18 studies evaluated the level of student knowledge as low (50%). On the other hand, in six of the studies, students' high knowledge of AI was reported, and two of the studies reported average student general knowledge (almost 50%). Of the six studies, four (67%) of the students had very low skills, so they stated that they had never worked with AI. Conclusion Evidence from this review shows that healthcare students had a positive and promising attitude towards AI in medicine; however, most students had low knowledge and limited skills in working with AI. Face-to-face instruction, training manuals, and detailed instructions are therefore crucial for implementing and comprehending how AI technology works and raising students' knowledge of the advantages of AI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated Korean dental hygiene students' perceptions and attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI) and aimed to identify needs for education to strengthen professional competencies. METHODS A 24-question online survey was conducted to the dental hygiene students from four Korean schools in 2021. The questionnaire included seven questions on basic characteristics and 17 AI-related questions on the student's attitudes toward AI, the confidence in AI, predictions about AI, and its future prospects. Responses were analyzed according to the frequencies and correlations between the participants' subjective level of knowledge about AI and questions using chi-square test. RESULTS Invitations were sent out to 1310 students and 800 (61.1%) participated. Note that 44.2% of participants were interested in AI, and 93.1% accessed AI-related information through the internet. Participants expressed lower confidence in AI's diagnosis (14.8%) and judgment (8.1%) than in those of humans, and 21.9% believed AI would replace their job. The proportions of participants with positive perceptions of the usefulness and the potential for improvement of AI in dentistry were 65.5% and 55.4%, respectively. Participants from schools who had existing AI knowledge expressed higher demands for AI-related content as compared to those who did not (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Although dental hygiene students expressed low level of confidence in AI, they were interested in AI and had positive views of its application and potential for improvement. However, the fact they had little AI-related information from dental hygiene curriculum strongly suggests the need for AI-related lectures in schools to prepare for the future.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI)-based healthcare applications (apps) are rapidly evolving, and radiology is a target specialty for their implementation. In this paper, we put the case for a national deployment registry to track the spread of AI apps into clinical use in radiology in the UK. By gathering data on the specific locations, purposes, and people associated with AI app deployment, such a registry would provide greater transparency on their spread in the radiology field. In combination with other regulatory and audit mechanisms, it would provide radiologists and patients with greater confidence and trust in AI apps. At the same time, coordination of this information would reduce costs for the National Health Service (NHS) by preventing duplication of piloting activities. This commentary discusses the need for a UK-wide registry for such apps, its benefits and risks, and critical success factors for its establishment. We conclude by noting that a critical window of opportunity has opened up for the development of a deployment registry, before the current pattern of localised clusters of activity turns into the widespread proliferation of AI apps across clinical practice.

Abstract
Introduction Artificial intelligence and data-driven predictive modeling have become increasingly common tools integrated in clinical practice, heralding a new chapter of medicine in the digital era. While these techniques are poised to affect nearly all aspects of medicine, medical education as an institution has languished behind; this has raised concerns that the current training infrastructure is not adequately preparing future physicians for this changing clinical landscape. Our institution attempted to ameliorate this by implementing a novel artificial intelligence in radiology curriculum, "AI-RADS," in two different educational formats: a 7-month lecture series and a one-day workshop intensive. Methods The curriculum was structured around foundational algorithms within artificial intelligence. As most residents have little computer science training, algorithms were initially presented as a series of simple observations around a relatable problem (e.g., fraud detection, movie recommendations, etc.). These observations were later re-framed to illustrate how a machine could apply the underlying concepts to perform clinically relevant tasks in the practice of radiology. Secondary lessons in basic computing, such as data representation/abstraction, were integrated as well. The lessons were ordered such that these algorithms were logical extensions of each other. The 7-month curriculum consisted of seven lectures paired with seven journal clubs, resulting in an AI-focused session every two weeks. The workshop consisted of six hours of content modified for the condensed format, with a final integrative activity. Results Both formats of the AI-RADS curriculum were well received by learners, with the 7-month version and workshop garnering 9.8/10 and 4.3/5 ratings, respectively, for overall satisfaction. In both, there were increases in perceived understanding of artificial intelligence. In the 7-lecture course, 6/7 lectures achieved statistically significant (P < 0.02) differences, with the final lecture approaching significance (P = 0.07). In the one-day workshop, there was a significant increase in perceived understanding (P = 0.03). Conclusion As artificial intelligence becomes further enmeshed in clinical practice, it will become critical for physicians to have a basic understanding of how these tools work. Our AI-RADS curriculum demonstrates that it is successful in increasing learner perceived understanding in both an extended and condensed format.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the practice of medicine. Systems assessing chest radiographs, pathology slides, and early warning systems embedded in electronic health records (EHRs) are becoming ubiquitous in medical practice. Despite this, medical students have minimal exposure to the concepts necessary to utilize and evaluate AI systems, leaving them under prepared for future clinical practice. We must work quickly to bolster undergraduate medical education around AI to remedy this. In this commentary, we propose that medical educators treat AI as a critical component of medical practice that is introduced early and integrated with the other core components of medical school curricula. Equipping graduating medical students with this knowledge will ensure they have the skills to solve challenges arising at the confluence of AI and medicine.

[PMID: 35105524 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2021.12.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Revised: 12/30/2021] [Accepted: 12/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The introduction of AI in radiology has prompted both excitement and hesitation within the field. We performed a systematic review of original studies evaluating the attitudes of radiologists, radiology trainees, and medical students towards AI in radiology. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched PubMed for studies published as of August 24, 2021 for original studies evaluating attitudes of radiologists (attendings and trainees) and medical students towards AI in radiology. We summarized the baseline article characteristics and performed thematic analysis of the questions asked in each study. RESULTS Nineteen studies were included evaluating attitudes across different levels of training (medical students, radiology trainees, and radiology attendings) with representation from nearly every continent. Medical students and radiologists alike favored increased educational initiatives, and displayed interest in learning about and implementing AI solutions themselves, despite reporting of a current gap in formal AI training. There was general optimism about the role of AI in radiology, although radiologists and trainees had greater consensus than medical students. CONCLUSION Although there is interest in incorporating AI into medical education and optimism among radiologists towards AI, medical students are more divided in their views. We propose that outreach to and AI education for medical students may help improve their attitudes towards the potentially transformative technology of AI for radiology.

The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging: A Nationwide Pilot Survey of Trainees in Saudi Arabia. Clin Pract 2022; 12:852-866. [PMID: 36412669 PMCID: PMC9680253 DOI: 10.3390/clinpract12060090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2022] [Revised: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Artificial intelligence is dramatically transforming medical imaging. In Saudi Arabia, there are a lack of studies assessing the level of artificial intelligence use and reliably determining the perceived impact of artificial intelligence on the radiology workflow and the profession. We assessed the levels of artificial intelligence use among radiology trainees and correlated the perceived impact of artificial intelligence on the workflow and profession with the behavioral intention to use artificial intelligence. This cross-sectional study enrolled radiology trainees from Saudi Arabia, and a 5-part-structured questionnaire was disseminated. The items concerning the perceived impact of artificial intelligence on the radiology workflow conformed to the six-step standard workflow in radiology, which includes ordering and scheduling, protocoling and acquisition, image interpretation, reporting, communication, and billing. We included 98 participants. Few used artificial intelligence in routine practice (7%). The perceived impact of artificial intelligence on the radiology workflow was at a considerable level in all radiology workflow steps (range, 3.64−3.97 out of 5). Behavioral intention to use artificial intelligence was linearly correlated with the perceptions of its impact on the radiology workflow and on the profession (p < 0.001). Artificial intelligence is used at a low level in radiology. The perceived impact of artificial intelligence on radiology workflow and the profession is correlated to an increase in behavioral intention to use artificial intelligence. Thus, increasing awareness about the positive impact of artificial intelligence can improve its adoption.

[PMID: 36292201 PMCID: PMC9600598 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12102512] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Machine-learning (ML) and deep-learning (DL) algorithms are part of a group of modeling algorithms that grasp the hidden patterns in data based on a training process, enabling them to extract complex information from the input data. In the past decade, these algorithms have been increasingly used for image processing, specifically in the medical domain. Cardiothoracic imaging is one of the early adopters of ML/DL research, and the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in more research focus on the feasibility and applications of ML/DL in cardiothoracic imaging. In this scoping review, we systematically searched available peer-reviewed medical literature on cardiothoracic imaging and quantitatively extracted key data elements in order to get a big picture of how ML/DL have been used in the rapidly evolving cardiothoracic imaging field. During this report, we provide insights on different applications of ML/DL and some nuances pertaining to this specific field of research. Finally, we provide general suggestions on how researchers can make their research more than just a proof-of-concept and move toward clinical adoption.

Endoscopists' Acceptance on the Implementation of Artificial Intelligence in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: Development and Case Analysis of a Scale. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:760634. [PMID: 35492311 PMCID: PMC9040450 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.760634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The purpose of this paper is to develop and validate a standardized endoscopist acceptance scale for the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in gastrointestinal endoscopy. Methods After investigating endoscopists who have previously used AI and consulting with AI experts, we developed a provisional scale to measure the acceptance of AI as used in gastrointestinal endoscopy that was then distributed to a sample of endoscopists who have used AI. After analyzing the feedback data collected on the provisional scale, we developed a new formal scale with four factors. Cronbach's alpha, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), content validity, and related validity were conducted to test the reliability and validity of the formal scale. We also constructed a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve in order to determine the scale's ability to distinguish higher acceptance and satisfaction. Results A total of 210 valid formal scale data points were collected. The overall Cronbach's alpha was 0.904. All the factor loadings were >0.50, of which the highest factor loading was 0.86 and the lowest was 0.54 (AVE = 0.580, CR = 0.953). The correlation coefficient between the total score of the scale and the satisfaction score was 0.876, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.949 ± 0.031. Endoscopists with a score higher than 50 tend to be accepting and satisfied with AI. Conclusion This study yielded a viable questionnaire to measure the acceptance among endoscopists of the implementation of AI in gastroenterology.

A qualitative study to explore opinions of Saudi Arabian radiologists concerning AI-based applications and their impact on the future of the radiology. BJR Open 2022; 4:20210029. [PMID: 36105424 PMCID: PMC9459863 DOI: 10.1259/bjro.20210029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2021] [Revised: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 03/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to explore opinions and views towards radiology AI among Saudi Arabian radiologists including both consultants and trainees. Methods A qualitative approach was adopted, with radiologists working in radiology departments in the Western region of Saudi Arabia invited to participate in this interview-based study. Semi-structured interviews (n = 30) were conducted with consultant radiologists and trainees. A qualitative data analysis framework was used based on Miles and Huberman's philosophical underpinnings. Results Several factors, such as lack of training and support, were attributed to the non-use of AI-based applications in clinical practice and the absence of radiologists' involvement in AI development. Despite the expected benefits and positive impacts of AI on radiology, a reluctance to use AI-based applications might exist due to a lack of knowledge, fear of error and concerns about losing jobs and/or power. Medical students' radiology education and training appeared to be influenced by the absence of a governing body and training programmes. Conclusion The results of this study support the establishment of a governing body or national association to work in parallel with universities in monitoring training and integrating AI into the medical education curriculum and residency programmes. Advances in knowledge An extensive debate about AI-based applications and their potential effects was noted, and considerable exceptions of transformative impact may occur when AI is fully integrated into clinical practice. Therefore, future education and training programmes on how to work with AI-based applications in clinical practice may be recommended.

Abstract
Background There is growing concern about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on radiology and the future of the profession. The aim of this study is to evaluate general knowledge and concerns about trends on imaging informatics among radiologists working in Spain (residents and attending physicians). For this purpose, an online survey among radiologists working in Spain was conducted with questions related to: knowledge about terminology and technologies, need for a regulated academic training on AI and concerns about the implications of the use of these technologies. Results A total of 223 radiologists answered the survey, of whom 76.7% were attending physicians and 23.3% residents. General terms such as AI and algorithm had been heard of or read in at least 75.8% and 57.4% of the cases, respectively, while more specific terms were scarcely known. All the respondents consider that they should pursue academic training in medical informatics and new technologies, and 92.9% of them reckon this preparation should be incorporated in the training program of the specialty. Patient safety was found to be the main concern for 54.2% of the respondents. Job loss was not seen as a peril by 45.7% of the participants.
Conclusions Although there is a lack of knowledge about AI among Spanish radiologists, there is a will to explore such topics and a general belief that radiologists should be trained in these matters. Based on the results, a consensus is needed to change the current training curriculum to better prepare future radiologists.

Abstract
Objective Medical students, as clinicians and healthcare leaders of the future, are key stakeholders in the clinical roll-out of artificial intelligence-driven technologies. The authors aim to provide the first report on the state of artificial intelligence in medical education globally by exploring the perspectives of medical students. Methods The authors carried out a mixed-methods study of focus groups and surveys with 128 medical students from 48 countries. The study explored knowledge around artificial intelligence as well as what students wished to learn about artificial intelligence and how they wished to learn this. A combined qualitative and quantitative analysis was used. Results Support for incorporating teaching on artificial intelligence into core curricula was ubiquitous across the globe, but few students had received teaching on artificial intelligence. Students showed knowledge on the applications of artificial intelligence in clinical medicine as well as on artificial intelligence ethics. They were interested in learning about clinical applications, algorithm development, coding and algorithm appraisal. Hackathon-style projects and multidisciplinary education involving computer science students were suggested for incorporation into the curriculum. Conclusions Medical students from all countries should be provided teaching on artificial intelligence as part of their curriculum to develop skills and knowledge around artificial intelligence to ensure a patient-centred digital future in medicine. This teaching should focus on the applications of artificial intelligence in clinical medicine. Students should also be given the opportunity to be involved in algorithm development. Students in low- and middle-income countries require the foundational technology as well as robust teaching on artificial intelligence to ensure that they can drive innovation in their healthcare settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) towards artificial intelligence (AI) among young pediatricians in France. METHODS We invited young French pediatricians to participate in an online survey. Invitees were identified through various email listings and social media. We conducted a descriptive analysis and explored whether survey responses varied according to respondents' previous training in AI and level of clinical experience (i.e., residents vs. experienced doctors). RESULTS In total, 165 French pediatricians participated in the study (median age 27 years, women 78%, residents 64%). While 90% of participants declared they understood the term "artificial intelligence", only 40% understood the term "deep learning". Most participants expected AI would lead to improvements in healthcare (e.g., better access to healthcare, 80%; diagnostic assistance, 71%), and 86% declared they would favor implementing AI tools in pediatrics. Fifty-nine percent of respondents declared seeing AI as a threat to medical data security and 35% as a threat to the ethical and human dimensions of medicine. Thirty-nine percent of respondents feared losing clinical skills because of AI, and 6% feared losing their job because of AI. Only 5% of respondents had received specific training in AI, while 87% considered implementing such programs would be necessary. Respondents who received training in AI had significantly better knowledge and a higher probability of having encountered AI tools in their medical practice (p < 0.05 for both). There was no statistically significant difference between residents' and experienced doctors' responses. CONCLUSION In this survey, most young French pediatricians had favorable views toward AI, but a large proportion expressed concerns regarding the ethical, societal, and professional issues linked with the implementation of AI.

Abstract
Rationale and Objectives Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly emerged as a field poised to affect nearly every aspect of medicine, especially radiology. A PubMed search for the terms “artificial intelligence radiology” demonstrates an exponential increase in publications on this topic in recent years. Despite these impending changes, medical education designed for future radiologists have only recently begun. We present our institution's efforts to address this problem as a model for a successful introductory curriculum into artificial intelligence in radiology titled AI-RADS. Materials and Methods The course was based on a sequence of foundational algorithms in AI; these algorithms were presented as logical extensions of each other and were introduced as familiar examples (spam filters, movie recommendations, etc.). Since most trainees enter residency without computational backgrounds, secondary lessons, such as pixel mathematics, were integrated in this progression. Didactic sessions were reinforced with a concurrent journal club highlighting the algorithm discussed in the previous lecture. To circumvent often intimidating technical descriptions, study guides for these papers were produced. Questionnaires were administered before and after each lecture to assess confidence in the material. Surveys were also submitted at each journal club assessing learner preparedness and appropriateness of the article. Results The course received a 9.8/10 rating from residents for overall satisfaction. With the exception of the final lecture, there were significant increases in learner confidence in reading journal articles on AI after each lecture. Residents demonstrated significant increases in perceived understanding of foundational concepts in artificial intelligence across all mastery questions for every lecture. Conclusion The success of our institution's pilot AI-RADS course demonstrates a workable model of including AI in resident education.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has seen dramatic growth over the past decade, evolving from a niche super specialty computer application into a powerful tool which has revolutionized many areas of our professional and daily lives, and the potential of which seems to be still largely untapped. The field of medicine and medical imaging, as one of its various specialties, has gained considerable benefit from AI, including improved diagnostic accuracy and the possibility of predicting individual patient outcomes and options of more personalized treatment. It should be noted that this process can actively support the ongoing development of advanced, highly specific treatment strategies (e.g., target therapies for cancer patients) while enabling faster workflow and more efficient use of healthcare resources. The potential advantages of AI over conventional methods have made it attractive for physicians and other healthcare stakeholders, raising much interest in both the research and the industry communities. However, the fast development of AI has unveiled its potential for disrupting the work of healthcare professionals, spawning concerns among radiologists that, in the future, AI may outperform them, thus damaging their reputations or putting their jobs at risk. Furthermore, this development has raised relevant psychological, ethical, and medico-legal issues which need to be addressed for AI to be considered fully capable of patient management. The aim of this review is to provide a brief, hopefully exhaustive, overview of the state of the art of AI systems regarding medical imaging, with a special focus on how AI and the entire healthcare environment should be prepared to accomplish the goal of a more advanced human-centered world.

Bhandari A, Purchuri SN, Sharma C, Ibrahim M, Prior M. Knowledge and attitudes towards artificial intelligence in imaging: a look at the quantitative survey literature. Clin Imaging 2021; 80:413-419. [PMID: 34537484 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinimag.2021.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2021] [Revised: 07/31/2021] [Accepted: 08/05/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES There exists many single sample perspectives on artificial intelligence (AI). The aim of this review was to collate the current data on attitudes/knowledge towards AI in three unique populations: medical students, clinicians and patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature search was performed on PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science pertaining to survey data on AI in radiology. Quality assessment was performed by an adapted version of the assessment tool from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute for Observational Studies. RESULTS Fourteen studies were found on attitudes/knowledge towards AI in radiology. Four studies examined medical students, seven on clinicians and three on patient populations. Deficiencies in the literature mainly related to sampling bias. Students had anxiety relating to future job prospects. Clinicians were optimistic and viewed AI as an aid to the diagnosis and wanted to further their knowledge. Patients were concerned about the lack of human interaction and accountability during error. CONCLUSION Attitudes and knowledge regarding AI in radiology remains a topic that needs to be researched further and education given pertaining to its use in a clinical setting.

Abstract
Recent advancements in the field of artificial intelligence have demonstrated
success in a variety of clinical tasks secondary to the development and
application of big data, supercomputing, sensor networks, brain science, and
other technologies. However, no projects can yet be used on a large scale in
real clinical practice because of the lack of standardized processes, lack of
ethical and legal supervision, and other issues. We analyzed the existing
problems in the field of artificial intelligence and herein propose possible
solutions. We call for the establishment of a process framework to ensure the
safety and orderly development of artificial intelligence in the medical
industry. This will facilitate the design and implementation of artificial
intelligence products, promote better management via regulatory authorities, and
ensure that reliable and safe artificial intelligence products are selected for
application.

Artificial intelligence: radiologists' expectations and opinions gleaned from a nationwide online survey. Radiol Med 2020; 126:63-71. [PMID: 32350797 DOI: 10.1007/s11547-020-01205-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 87] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2020] [Accepted: 04/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To report the results of a nationwide online survey on artificial intelligence (AI) among radiologist members of the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology (SIRM). METHODS AND MATERIALS All members were invited to the survey as an initiative by the Imaging Informatics Chapter of SIRM. The survey consisted of 13 questions about the participants' demographic information, perceived advantages and issues related to AI implementation in radiological practice, and their overall opinion about AI. RESULTS In total, 1032 radiologists (equaling 9.5% of active SIRM members for the year 2019) joined the survey. Perceived AI advantages included a lower diagnostic error rate (750/1027, 73.0%) and optimization of radiologists' work (697/1027, 67.9%). The risk of a poorer professional reputation of radiologists compared with non-radiologists (617/1024, 60.3%), and increased costs and workload due to AI system maintenance and data analysis (399/1024, 39.0%) were seen as potential issues. Most radiologists stated that specific policies should regulate the use of AI (933/1032, 90.4%) and were not afraid of losing their job due to it (917/1032, 88.9%). Overall, 77.0% of respondents (794/1032) were favorable to the adoption of AI, whereas 18.0% (186/1032) were uncertain and 5.0% (52/1032) were unfavorable. CONCLUSIONS Radiologists had a mostly positive attitude toward the implementation of AI in their working practice. They were not concerned that AI will replace them, but rather that it might diminish their professional reputation.
