Abstract

PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence (AI) thoracic imaging applications are increasingly being deployed in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Radiologists have a critical gatekeeping role to ensure the effective and ethical implementation of AI solutions. RAD-AID International uses a three-pronged implementation strategy to overcome challenges pervasive in LMICs.
