The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine, and particularly in radiology, is becoming increasingly prominent. Its impact will transform the way the specialty is practiced and the current and future education model. The aim of this study is to analyze the perception that undergraduate medical students have about the current situation of AI in medicine, especially in radiology. A survey with 17 items was distributed to medical students between 3 January to 31 March 2022. Two hundred and eighty-one students correctly responded the questionnaire; 79.3% of them claimed that they knew what AI is. However, their objective knowledge about AI was low but acceptable. Only 24.9% would choose radiology as a specialty, and only 40% of them as one of their first three options. The applications of this technology were valued positively by most students, who give it an important Support Role, without fear that the radiologist will be replaced by AI (79.7%). The majority (95.7%) agreed with the need to implement well-established ethical principles in AI, and 80% valued academic training in AI positively. Surveyed medical students have a basic understanding of AI and perceive it as a useful tool that will transform radiology.
人工智能（AI）在医学领域的兴起，尤其是在放射学领域，正变得越来越突出。它的影响将改变该专业的实践方式以及当前和未来的教育模式。本研究旨在分析医学生对医学中人工智能（尤其是放射学）现状的看法。我们于 2022 年 1 月 3 日至 3 月 31 日期间向医学生发放了一份包含 17 个项目的调查。281 名学生正确回答了问卷；其中 79.3%的学生声称他们知道 AI 是什么。然而，他们对 AI 的客观知识水平较低，但可以接受。只有 24.9%的学生表示会选择放射科作为专业，只有 40%的学生将其作为首选专业的前三项之一。大多数学生对该技术的应用持肯定态度，认为它具有重要的支持作用，而不会担心 AI 会取代放射科医生（79.7%）。大多数学生（95.7%）同意需要在 AI 中实施既定的伦理原则，80%的学生对 AI 学术培训给予肯定。调查的医学生对 AI 有基本的了解，并认为它是一种有用的工具，将改变放射学领域。
