Abstract

This article delves into the recent advancements in the application of artificial intelligence or AI for medical imaging interpretation within the field of radiology. It highlights significant achievements, such as improved diagnostic accuracy and workflow optimization, as well as the ethical, regulatory, and technical challenges that continue to hinder full AI integration into clinical practice. Furthermore, specific cases where AI has proven useful are examined, and the potential future implications of these developments are discussed, including emerging research areas and the impact on radiologist training.
