Abstract

BACKGROUND: Large volumes of data increasing over time lead to a shortage of radiologists' time. The use of systems based on artificial intelligence (AI) offers opportunities to relieve the burden on radiologists. The AI systems are usually optimized for a radiological area. Radiologists must understand the basic features of its technical function in order to be able to assess the weaknesses and possible errors of the system and use the strengths of the system. This "explainability" creates trust in an AI system and shows its limits.
