Facing the AI challenge in radiology: Lessons learned from a regional survey among Austrian radiologists in academic and non-academic settings on perceptions and expectations towards artificial intelligence.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study aimed to evaluate perceptions and expectations towards artificial intelligence (AI) applications in diagnostic radiology among radiologists across academic, non-academic and private practice settings in the Federal State of Styria, Austria. It also sought to determine how participant's characteristics and AI-specific knowledge might influence these views.
