A new survey finds that nearly all patients want to be informed when AI is utilized in medical imaging interpretation.
Key Details
- 196% of surveyed patients think they should be told when AI is used to report on images.
- 2Over 1,000 patients participated in the survey at an Irish imaging center.
- 353% prefer written consent while 34% prefer verbal consent for AI use.
- 4Current regulations do not mandate disclosure or consent for adjunctive AI imaging tools.
- 564% of respondents would blame both doctors and technology if errors occur in AI-assisted readings.
- 6The study highlights patient interest in transparency, despite limitations such as selection bias and single-language questionnaires.
Why It Matters
Understanding patient perspectives is critical for responsible AI implementation in radiology. This study underscores the need for clear communication and possibly policy development around AI disclosure and consent to maintain patient trust.
