Finally, the use of AI in medical radiology also has the potential to reduce radiation exposure to patients. AI algorithms can be used to optimize imaging protocols and minimize the amount of radiation exposure that patients receive during medical imaging procedures. This has the potential to significantly improve patient safety and reduce the risk of harm.
AI could also help reduce unnecessary imaging by flagging when a scan might not even be needed, which lowers patient exposure. However, will doctors still have the final say or will this be too much of relying on AI that can make mistakes?
