Narrative Review: AI Augments Radiologists in Chest and Breast Screening but Oversight Needed

AI performance approximates or exceeds radiologists in chest and breast screening, but poor implementation may increase burnout; patients prefer AI-augmented over autonomous diagnosis.

• Narrative review synthesizing evidence on AI impact on diagnostic accuracy, workflow, patient perspectives, and trainee education across radiology.
• AI may paradoxically increase workload and cause burnout when integrated poorly, highlighting need for careful implementation and human oversight.
• Patient-centered studies consistently show preference for AI-augmented models over fully autonomous diagnosis.
