Radiology is charting new frontiers with innovative technological advancements, largely driven by advancements in AI and a shift towards more patient-centred technologies. Generative AI, in particular, is playing a pivotal role in reshaping radiological practices by automating the drafting of radiology reports from images, summarising complex medical records and enhancing patient communication. These AI-driven tools not only streamline workflows but provide radiologists with more time to engage with colleagues and patients, potentially reducing the workload and addressing burnout issues that have long plagued the profession.
The introduction of AI in radiology is not limited to administrative tasks. AI’s impact extends to enhancing patient care through augmented diagnostic processes and improving the efficiency and precision of radiological assessments. Augmentative AI, for example, is helping to fill gaps in medical records and communication, critical for patient safety. By assisting in tasks ranging from medical history summarisation to lesion identification, AI technologies are enabling incremental improvements across the medical imaging pipeline.
Driven by these trends, the global radiology market is expected to reach $300.51 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 18.76 percent.
