The American College of Radiology is calling for greater transparency and explainability in AI algorithms for medical imaging.
Key Details
- 1ACR CEO Dana Smetherman emphasizes the need for AI explainability to build public trust.
- 2ACR supported Resolution 519 at the AMA House of Delegates 2025 meeting, requesting a framework for evidence-based AI transparency.
- 3The resolution was not adopted due to existing AMA policies, but highlighted ongoing concerns about AI 'black box' decision-making.
- 4ACR wants AI decisions to be explainable by qualified medical experts.
Why It Matters
As AI becomes more prevalent in radiology, transparent decision-making is crucial for safety, trust, and regulatory approval. ACR's stance elevates the conversation around explainability, directly impacting how future imaging AI systems may be developed and implemented.
