To analyze medical students' perceptions of the impact of artificial intelligence in radiology.
A structured questionnaire comprising 28 items organized into six sections was distributed to students of medicine in Spain in December 2019.
A total of 341 students responded. Of these, 27 (7.9%) included radiology among their three main choices for specialization, and 51.9% considered that they clearly understood what artificial intelligence is. The overall rate of correct answers to the objective true-or-false questions about artificial intelligence was 70.7%. Whereas 75.9% expressed their disagreement with the hypothesis that artificial intelligence would replace radiologists, only 41.9% disagreed with the hypothesis that the demand for radiologists would decrease in the future. Only 36.7% expressed concerns about the role of artificial intelligence related to choosing radiology as a specialty. A greater proportion of students in the early years of medical school agreed with statements that radiologists accept artificial-intelligence-related technological changes and work with the industry to apply them as well as with statements about the need to include basic training about artificial intelligence in the medical school curriculum.
The students surveyed are aware of the impact of artificial intelligence in daily life, but not of the current debate about its potential applications in radiology. In general, they think that artificial intelligence will revolutionize radiology without having an alarming effect on the employability of radiologists. The students surveyed think that it is necessary to provide basic training about artificial intelligence in undergraduate medical school programs.
分析医学生对人工智能在放射学领域影响的看法。
2019年12月，向西班牙的医学生发放了一份包含28个项目、分为六个部分的结构化问卷。
共有341名学生做出回应。其中，27名（7.9%）学生将放射学列为其三个主要专业选择之一，51.9%的学生认为他们清楚地了解人工智能是什么。关于人工智能的客观是非题的总体正确回答率为70.7%。虽然75.9%的学生不同意人工智能将取代放射科医生这一假设，但只有41.9%的学生不同意未来对放射科医生的需求会减少这一假设。只有36.7%的学生对人工智能在选择放射学作为专业方面的作用表示担忧。医学院低年级的学生中，有更大比例的人同意放射科医生接受与人工智能相关的技术变革并与行业合作应用这些技术的说法，以及关于医学院课程需要纳入人工智能基础培训的说法。
接受调查的学生意识到了人工智能在日常生活中的影响，但不了解目前关于其在放射学领域潜在应用的争论。总体而言，他们认为人工智能将给放射学带来变革，而不会对放射科医生的就业能力产生令人担忧的影响。接受调查的学生认为有必要在本科医学课程中提供人工智能基础培训。
