1From the Department of Radiology (Khafaji, Toonsi), Faculty of Medicine, King Abdulaziz University, from the Department of Radiodiagnostics and Medical Imaging (Albadawi), King Abdulaziz Medical City, from the Department of Radiodiagnostics and Medical Imaging (Shehata), King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, Jeddah, and from the Department of Radiodiagnostics and Medical Imaging (Al-Amoudi, Safhi), Prince Sultan Military Medical City, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Objectives:
To assess the knowledge and perception of artificial intelligence (AI) among radiology residents across Saudi Arabia and assess their interest in learning about AI.
Methods:
An observational cross-sectional study carried out among radiology residents enrolled in the Saudi Board of Radiology, Saudi Arabia. An anonymized, self-administered questionnaire was distributed in April 2020 and responses were collected until July 2020.
Results:
A total of 154 residents filled the questionnaire. The top 3 aspects of AI participants wanted to learn were: clinical use of AI applications, advantages and limitations of AI applications, and technical methods. Approximately 43.5% of participants did not expect AI to affect job positions, while 42% anticipated that job positions will decrease. Approximately 53% expected a reduction in reporting workload, while 28% expected an increase in workload.
Conclusion:
Currently, the exposure of radiologists to the use of AI is inadequate. It is imperative that AI is introduced to radiology trainees and that radiologists stay updated with advances in AI to be more knowledgeable on how to benefit from it.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
