How radiologists can avoid becoming ‘invisible’ in the artificial intelligence era – Health Imaging

4 tips for radiologists to lead the change

1. Radiology training must take a broader approach to education. Residents need to learn how to use and integrate AI into their practice. Programs should also teach biomedical engineering, big data analysis and machine learning to ensure the specialty is guiding technological change.

4 tips for radiologists to lead the change

1. Radiology training must take a broader approach to education. Residents need to learn how to use and integrate AI into their practice. Programs should also teach biomedical engineering, big data analysis and machine learning to ensure the specialty is guiding technological change.

2. Radiologists must adopt new clinical skills, including emotional intelligence and communication strategies for interacting with patients. These traits must be clearly defined and taught during medicals school and residency. A central role in multidisciplinary team meetings will also ensure rads remain visible.

3. Young rads will need to be adaptable. This includes upgrading job certifications throughout their career. Being able to conform to a changing workplace may be the most important “soft skill” that radiologists can invest in and embrace, the authors noted.

4. The growing power of technology, including AI, will continually alter diagnostic imaging, and radiologists cannot rest on their laurels, the authors noted. A successful “marriage” of artificial intelligence and imaging will make rads more accurate and, in some cases, more visible.
