Preserving the radiologist’s pre-AI interpretation as an auditable event

Radiology should preserve an auditable pre-AI interpretation: capture what the radiologist concluded before AI exposure, then the AI display and response. Automation-bias research shows that the current blended record is consequential.

• Current AI display without sequence documentation collapses independent and AI-influenced interpretations into one blended record, which automation-bias research indicates is consequential.
• Proposed workflow: record the radiologist’s pre-AI conclusion, the AI output, and the radiologist’s response; the signing radiologist retains responsibility and use is bounded by device clearance.
• Statistical instruments have known error characteristics, and human judgment should be evaluated in relation to them; the new capability is preserving pre-AI interpretation as an auditable event.
