Summary
AI has become integral in radiology, with approximately 80% of the nearly 1,000 FDA-cleared clinical algorithms dedicated to medical imaging. However, these algorithms may become less effective over time due to changes in clinical data or practice. As the RSNA 2024 meeting revealed, the integration of AI into medical imaging is advancing rapidly, yet challenges such as reimbursement and algorithm performance must be addressed to support its continued growth. Additionally, the event underscored the persistent radiologist shortage as a critical issue within the field, prompting discussions on how technology can help mitigate this challenge while improving patient care.
