Artificial intelligence (AI) now impacts radiologists at all stages of training and in all practice settings. Every day, radiologists hear of new opportunities and new challenges that AI will bring to their work and lives. Most practicing radiologists, and many radiologists in training, have not received the education necessary to navigate this new world, discern truth from hype, and recognize the dangers and responsibilities facing them as they integrate these systems into hospitals and clinics.
In order to safely, responsibly, and successfully develop, implement, and use AI systems to improve patient care and our work lives, radiologists must learn the basics in key areas. On Sunday, April 27 during the 2025 ARRS Annual Meeting at Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, “Critical Education for Safe, Ethical, and Successful AI in Radiology” will provide expert guidance in:
- Reliable AI: From Research to Production;
- Practical AI: Implementation, Workflow and Monitoring;
- Successful AI: Product Development, Validation, and Regulation;
- Ethical AI: Bias, Diversity, Accessibility, and Privacy.
Most practicing radiologists have not received basic, trustworthy education that will allow them to understand, assess, implement, and successfully utilize AI products in their practices. Training programs now offer basic education about AI, but this often lacks teaching from those with broad experience and the ability to provide a comprehensive overview, including research, ethics, clinical implementation, and the business and economics of AI. Radiologists in practice and in training must be prepared to evaluate products, understand the important role of standards for AI integration into workflow, and be aware of pitfalls and dangers that could harm patients and the practice if not recognized. Led by course director Wende Gibbs, MD, attendees of “Critical Education for Safe, Ethical, and Successful AI in Radiology” will benefit from the unique group of speakers who are trailblazers in the areas of AI research, education, and business, and current and future leaders who are breaking down silos and facilitating multidisciplinary, multispecialty cooperation in the creation of safe, successful, and ethical AI for all.
Later in the afternoon on Sunday, April 27 in San Diego, CA, “Clinical Implementation of AI” will provide a timely review of best practices for selecting and a primer for deploying AI products to maximize return on investment. Course director Manisha Bahl, MD, has assembled four leading researchers in AI who also practice in different subspecialties. Their goal? Enhancing the overall value of any AI system by streamlining clinical workflows, while instilling effective methodology for monitoring said system’s practical impacts. Combining expert-led lectures with an interactive Q&A session, this ARRS Annual Meeting Sunday Session is open to all registrants.
