Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to validate a national descriptive and analytical grid for artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in radiology.
Materials And Methods:
The RAND-UCLA Appropriateness Method was chosen by expert radiologists from the DRIM France IA group for this statement paper. The study, initiated by the radiology community, involved seven steps including literature review, template development, panel selection, pre-panel meeting survey, data extraction and analysis, second and final panel meeting, and data reporting.
Results:
The panel consisted of seven software vendors, three for bone fracture detection using conventional radiology and four for breast cancer detection using mammography. A consensus was reached on various aspects, including general target, main objective, certification marking, integration, expression of results, forensic aspects and cybersecurity, performance and scientific validation, description of the company and economic details, possible usage scenarios in the clinical workflow, database, specific objectives and targets of the AI tool.
Conclusion:
The study validates a descriptive and analytical grid for radiological AI solutions consisting of ten items, using breast cancer and bone fracture as an experimental guide. This grid would assist radiologists in selecting relevant and validated AI solutions. Further developments of the grid are needed to include other organs and tasks.

The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

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...
