Introduction:
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the medical imaging (MI) curriculum has been advocated by many international professional bodies. This study aimed to explore a nationwide perspective on AI incorporation in the MI curriculum.
Methods:
A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire created using Google Forms. The survey focused on the perceived awareness of AI incorporation into the MI curriculum, AI in MI and its impact on service delivery. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test between institution and AI curriculum incorporation and perceived adequacy were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) (v.26) and Excel 2019.
Results:
A total of 200 respondents participated, with the majority being MI students from the University of Cape Coast (77/200, 38.5%). More than half of respondents (124/200, 62.5%) indicated that AI was incorporated into the curriculum, and 87 (44%) reported receiving instruction on AI. A statistically significant correlation was found between institutional affiliation and the perception of AI incorporation and MI (p = 0.001).
Conclusion:
Respondents noted the incorporation of AI in the MI curriculum, with variations in the level of awareness of AI integration across the various institutions.
Implication For Practice:
The evidence presented should help prioritise faculty tutelage and integrate dedicated AI modules to ensure graduates possess the technical competencies and confidence required for safe adoption of AI in practice.
