ACR releases patient handout on AI-generated radiology report summaries

ACR released a handout helping patients understand AI-generated radiology report summaries, advising they discuss unclear results with their radiologist or provider. The resource aims to improve patient understanding and can be incorporated into workflows.

• Developed by ACR’s Patient- and Family-Centered Care Economics Committee and AI Economics Committee.
• Handout answers common patient questions about AI in imaging, including why AI can’t read images alone and how it’s regulated.
• ACR urges members to incorporate the handout into patient education materials and clinical workflows where AI summaries are available.
