Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Artificial intelligence is transforming radiographers' roles. While concerns exist, European radiographers are optimistic about AI, especially with proper education and experience. AI education is crucial for its acceptance and safe integration in healthcare.
Area Of Science
- Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy (MIRT)
- Healthcare Workforce Digital Transformation
- Artificial Intelligence in Clinical Practice
Background
- Radiographers utilize advanced MIRT equipment and are a digitally mature healthcare workforce.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing radiographers' roles in data acquisition, post-processing, and workflow management.
- Understanding AI's impact on radiographers' careers and professional identity is vital for healthcare's digital transformation.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate the perceived impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the professional identity and career trajectories of European radiographers.
- To assess radiographers' attitudes towards AI integration within the medical imaging ecosystem.
Main Methods
- A European survey of radiographers, endorsed by the European Federation of Radiographer Societies (EFRS), was conducted online.
- The survey was piloted and translated into eight languages.
- This paper focuses on the quantitative results derived from 2206 responses across 37 countries.
Main Results
- Despite concerns about deskilling and job prospects, European radiographers generally hold optimistic views regarding AI in healthcare.
- Prior AI education, hands-on AI experience, higher national digital literacy, and advanced radiography education levels correlated with more positive AI perceptions.
- Men showed more enthusiasm for technological skill development, while women focused on patient-centered care skills; interprofessional collaboration was deemed essential for AI integration and patient benefit.
Conclusions
- AI is actively reshaping radiographers' clinical practices and professional identities.
- There is a recognized gap in AI education across Europe, hindering full acceptance and trust among radiographers.
- Enhanced AI education is paramount to ensure the safe and effective implementation of AI, fostering service transformation and addressing professional concerns.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Surveys allow researchers to gather data from larger samples than may be afforded by...
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...
