Here are three things to know:
- Curtis Langlotz, MD, PhD, president of the Radiological Society of North America, kicked off the organization’s annual meeting in December 2024 by discussing the role of AI in radiology, according to a Jan. 22 news release from RSNA. He noted that radiology’s history of embracing newer technologies in the past has emboldened the field to adopt AI.
He proposed strategies for improving data accessibility, including universal imaging exchange and donation of de-identified patient data for research and training. He also stressed the importance of diversity within data and interdisciplinary teams.
- Nina Kottler, MD, associate chief medical officer for clinical AI at El Segundo, Cali.-based Radiology Partners encouraged those in the field to guide the development of AI tools to align with the needs of radiologists.
The ideal use of the technology is “an expert radiologist partnering with a transparent and explainable AI system,” she said, according to the RSNA release. “Together, they’re better than either alone.”
- Eric Topol, MD, cardiologist and executive vice president of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, highlighted how AI’s multimodal capabilities have the potential to expand individualized medicine to predict disease and personalize patient care.
