AI has arrived in clinical practice offering new opportunities to enhance radiation protection of patients. However, clear accountability for patient safety in diagnosis and treatment remains the responsibility of healthcare professionals. This was agreed by over 187 medical experts, decision makers and AI specialists from 65 countries and 18 organizations at a recent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) meeting in Vienna.

“This meeting has allowed us to distil the current status of AI, find what we need, what is missing and how to move forward in applying it to further strengthen patient radiation protection,” said Chair Stine Korreman, Professor of Medical Physics at Aarhus University, Denmark.
