Finding Inspiration for the Next Generation of Breast Radiologists

Abstract

Challenges currently facing breast radiologists, including controversial screening mammography guidelines, radiologist burnout, and the perceived threat posed by artificial intelligence could deter potential candidates from pursuing a career in radiology. However, breast radiologists play a fulfilling role by decreasing the effect of breast cancer through both early detection and direct interaction with patients and interdisciplinary clinical colleagues. While perception is that artificial intelligence will threaten the need for radiologists, it is more likely that it will improve image interpretation and efficiency in workflow, thereby further improving patient care. Trainees can be engaged in breast imaging through interactive teaching methods and by role modeling clinical and image interpretation skills.
