Radiology Business2d ago

Survey of 215 breast radiologists: only a minority see meaningful clinical benefit. Actual callback rate dropped ~35%, but unnecessary biopsies only ~9%, and just 29.4% of AI users reported notable burnout reduction.

  • Half of respondents had AI implemented; cost was the most significant barrier for non-adopters.
  • AI was perceived as best suited for second-reader role; non-users overestimated recall improvement, while actual recall dropped by ~35% and unnecessary biopsies by ~9%.
  • Only 29.4% of current AI users reported notable burnout reduction, versus 56% of non-users who believed it could help.
