The use of artificial intelligence tools in the perception of electroradiologists

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in diagnostic imaging, helping specialists improve the quality and speed of medical services. Despite the potential of AI, electroradiologists express concerns about algorithm errors, overreliance on technology, and ethical issues. Further training of medical personnel is necessary to ensure the safe and informed implementation of AI in diagnostics. This study examines the use of AI tools as perceived by radiographers, focusing on their impact on work organization. MATERIAL AND METHODS: test. A significance level of p < 0.05 was adopted. In analyses considering respondents' age, age groups were categorized accordingly. RESULTS: The study involved 202 professionally active electroradiologists (working in diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology) - 166 women (82.18%) and 36 men (17.82%), with an average age of 31.75 years. Analyses showed no statistical correlation between education, age, work experience, and level of knowledge about AI. However, correlations appeared in the implementation of these tools across medical facilities and their use in radiographers' work. In-depth analyses revealed a positive attitude toward AI tools but also highlighted insufficient education and the need for training. CONCLUSIONS: Most electroradiologists are familiar with the general concept of AI, but lack detailed knowledge, indicating a need for targeted education. Despite a positive attitude towards AI, a lack of training limits readiness for its implementation. Age and workplace influence the perception of AI, while education, gender, and seniority remain insignificant. The key barriers are competency- and organization-related, highlighting the need for consistent educational programs. Med Pr Work Health Saf. 2026;77(2):147-161.
