Artificial intelligence embedded into picture archiving and communication systems does not significantly increase radiologists’ interpretation times, according to the results of a new real-world study.

Some experts fear AI may force rads to perform additional tasks, a legitimate concern outlined in prior research. At the same time, imaging software is proven to help detect multiple types of cancer.

Despite conflicting evidence, one thing is clear: many algorithms have been tested retrospectively or in research settings, rather than real-world environments, Danish researchers explained…
