Photo by Experts Weigh in on AI in Radiology: Trust, Reproducibility, and Accountability Are Key
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in medical imaging has the potential to revolutionize the field of radiology, but experts warn that it requires careful consideration of several key factors. According to a recent Special Report published in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), the successful deployment of AI technology in radiology hinges on trust, reproducibility, explainability, and accountability.
Radiologists must establish clear guidelines regarding clinical accountability.
The report highlights the importance of collaboration between experts in radiology, medical imaging, and machine learning to ensure the clinical, cultural, computational, and regulatory considerations necessary for the successful adoption of AI technology in radiology. The authors emphasize that radiologists must be able to trust in the design of AI systems and receive adequate training to establish clear guidelines regarding clinical accountability.

Canada’s Weak Business Investment in Technologies Holding Back Economic Growth
A new study published by the Fraser Institute, an independent non-partisan Canadian think-tank, reveals that weak business investment in technologies that increase worker productivity is stifling Canada’s economic growth and suppressing improvements in Canadian living standards.
Canada’s underinvestment in key technologies is showing up in productivity numbers.
According to the study, total investment in Canada relative to the size of the economy was greater, on average, than in the U.S. over the past two decades. However, investment in productivity-enhancing technologies such as IT and research and development was much lower than in the United States. The authors argue that governments in Canada must create a policy environment that attracts productivity-enhancing business investments to promote rising living standards through faster productivity growth.
