The Challenges and Promises of Artificial Intelligence Triage Systems in Practice
In their retrospective study, ‘Impact of AI-Triage on radiologist report turnaround time: real-world time-savings and insights from model predictions’, Thompson et al [1] investigated how workflow parameters affected the time-savings introduced by an artificial intelligence (AI) triage system (BriefCase by Aidoc Medical) in reporting CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) examinations. As Thompson et al note, many groups have studied such triage systems for detecting pulmonary emboli and other critical…

Funding and incentives for resident education in an era of radiologist shortages, increasing workload, and financial constraints
Training the next generation of radiologists is essential given the ongoing national radiologist shortage. However, funding residency positions and incentivizing high-quality resident education remains a challenge. Increasing demand for imaging leading to increased radiologist workloads and moonlighting, the rise of remote work, and the use of productivity measures that value clinical work over time spent on resident education may create barriers to high-quality resident education. This paper ou…
