Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence (AI) is present in many areas of our lives. Much of the digital data generated in health care can be used for building automated systems to bring improvements to existing workflows and create a more personalised healthcare experience for patients. This review outlines select current and potential AI applications in medical imaging practice and provides a view of how diagnostic imaging suites will operate in the future. Challenges associated with potential applications will be discussed and healthcare staff considerations necessary to benefit from AI-enabled solutions will be outlined.
