Implementation Framework Proposed for Radiology AI in the Global South

A newly proposed framework shifts focus from algorithm development to real-world AI implementation in radiology, addressing the Global South's radiologist shortages and uneven diagnostic access as both barriers and transformative opportunities.

• The central challenge for radiology AI has moved from algorithmic accuracy to complex, real-world clinical implementation.
• The Global South faces distinctive hurdles like radiologist shortages and diagnostic access gaps, but also has outsized potential for health-system transformation via AI.
• The 'Global South Radiology AI Implementation Framework' leverages implementation science to guide context-sensitive deployment.
