Shamie Kumar describes how AI fits into a radiology clinical workflow and her perspective on how a clinical radiographer could use this to learn from and enhance their skills. If the AI findings are seen in PACS, how many radiographers actually log into PACS after taking a scan or X-ray? Can Radiographers Up-Skill?
