Integrating Image Analysis Artificial Intelligence with Radiology Reporting Workflows (RIS and PACS), Second Edition

Professional GuidanceVoluntary

Summary

Updates professional guidance for integrating image-analysis AI into radiology reporting. Covers intended use, performance and limitation disclosures, human verification of reports, workflow safeguards, training, and interoperable exchange of AI results through RIS and PACS. Supersedes the 2021 first edition.

Healthcare Implications

Radiology services and vendors can use the guidance to design safer reporting workflows, preserve independent interpretation and clinical responsibility, and specify interoperable AI outputs. It is UK professional guidance, not a new statutory mandate; it does not select particular products or comprehensively address AI ethics.
