AI Framework Proposed as Radiology Gap-Filler in Somalia

A narrative review proposes a pragmatic AI framework for radiology in Somalia, prioritizing chest X-ray TB screening, emergency triage, and teleradiology support, with emphasis on local validation and human accountability.

• The framework includes readiness assessment, priority use-case selection, local validation, supervised deployment, and continuous monitoring.
• It distinguishes pre-deployment readiness from clinical risks such as automation bias and vendor dependency.
• AI is positioned as a human-supervised capacity multiplier, not a standalone solution.
