Use of Generative AI in Radiology Manuscripts Surges, Raising Integrity Concerns
Tags:Policy

Disclosure of generative AI usage in radiology manuscript writing has more than doubled in recent years, prompting editorial caution about scientific integrity.
Key Details
- 1The American Journal of Roentgenology began requiring disclosure of AI usage in manuscript submissions in March 2024.
- 2Nearly 4,000 manuscripts were submitted since then; around 3% disclosed AI use.
- 3AI utilization in manuscript submissions rose from 1.1% in 2024 to 7.5% in mid-2026.
- 4The editor-in-chief cautions that disclosure alone is insufficient to ensure scientific integrity.
Why It Matters
The rapid increase in generative AI use in radiology research publications presents both opportunities and challenges, especially regarding transparency and trustworthiness. Journals and the wider radiology community must adapt policies and practices to safeguard scholarly standards as AI writing tools proliferate.
