Artificial Intelligence: Threat or Boon to Radiologists?

Abstract

The development and integration of machine learning/artificial intelligence into routine clinical practice will significantly alter the current practice of radiology. Changes in reimbursement and practice patterns will also continue to affect radiology. But rather than being a significant threat to radiologists, we believe these changes, particularly machine learning/artificial intelligence, will be a boon to radiologists by increasing their value, efficiency, accuracy, and personal satisfaction.

Keywords: Machine learning; artificial intelligence; computer-assisted diagnosis/detection; efficiency; value.
