AI Revolution in Radiology, Radiation Oncology and Nuclear Medicine: Transforming and Innovating the Radiological Sciences

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into clinical practice, particularly within radiology, nuclear medicine and radiation oncology, is transforming diagnostic and therapeutic processes. AI-driven tools, especially in deep learning and machine learning, have shown remarkable potential in enhancing image recognition, analysis and decision-making. This technological advancement allows for the automation of routine tasks, improved diagnostic accuracy, and the reduction of human error, leading to more efficient workflows. Moreover, the successful implementation of AI in healthcare requires comprehensive education and training for young clinicians, with a pressing need to incorporate AI into residency programmes, ensuring that future specialists are equipped with traditional skills and a deep understanding of AI technologies and their clinical applications. This includes knowledge of software, data analysis, imaging informatics and ethical considerations surrounding AI use in medicine. By fostering interdisciplinary integration and emphasising AI education, healthcare professionals can fully harness AI's potential to improve patient outcomes and advance the field of medical imaging and therapy. This review aims to evaluate how AI influences radiology, nuclear medicine and radiation oncology, while highlighting the necessity for specialised AI training in medical education to ensure its successful clinical integration.
