April 20th: Artificial Intelligence revisited

Last January’s AI chat was one of our most popular so we’re paying another visit to this timely topic. Our paper this month is an invited commentary from the JMIRS AI special issue that examines the system-level implications of AI on the medical radiation sciences and how MRS professionals can prepare. French J, Chen L. Preparing for Artificial Intelligence: Systems-Level Implications for the Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy Professions JMIRS. 2019. Further reading: International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technologists. Artificial Intelligence and the Radiographer/Radiological Technologist Profession: A joint statement of the International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technologists and the European Federation of Radiographer Societies. Radiography. 2020. While you’re here – pop over to #MedRadBlogs and read Dr. Tracy O’Regan’s blog “Artificial Intelligence – what’s taking so long?“ Themes: 1. The paper states that “AI will be both a transformative and disruptive force” how do you view the integration of AI into imaging and radiotherapy practice? 2. AI is reportedly moving from its experimental phase to an implementation phase – does this ring true? How is the integration of AI affecting you and your clinical practice? 3. How can we ensure our profession thrives in an AI-enabled world?
