Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications have been gaining traction across the radiology space, promising to redefine its workflow and delivery. However, they enter into an uncertain legal environment. This piece examines the nature, exposure, and theories of liability relevant to musculoskeletal radiologist practice. More specifically, it explores the negligence, vicarious liability, and product liability frameworks by way of illustrative vignettes.
