In a recent interview, Samir Abboud, M.D., discussed new research examining the impact of generative AI in maximizing efficiency and reducing the time-consuming nature of radiology reporting.

While some have predicted that artificial intelligence (AI) may replace radiologists, Samir Abboud, M.D., says generative AI will allow radiologists to maximize their time on image interpretation.

In a new study, recently published in JAMA Network Open, Dr. Abboud and colleagues evaluated the impact of a generative AI model for providing initial drafts of radiology reports for radiographs. In a total cohort including 23,960 radiographs, the researchers found that use of the generative AI model reduced documentation time for radiology reports by a mean of 29.4 seconds.

While the study noted a 15.5...
