In a new survey of over 2,000 health-care professionals on AI use, respondents cited benefits ranging from improved work-life balance to preventing medical errors as well as concerns about overreliance on AI and inconsistent or limited training.
In recent interviews, Emanuel Kanal, MD, and Tobias Gilk, MRSO, MRSE, noted a lack of point-of-care safety requirements for MRI, a lack of state oversight, and a prevailing lack of minimum standards overall for MRI safety.
