One of the most promising areas of health innovation is the application of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning primarily in medical imaging. The increase in the amount of data and the possibility to use ML/DL to identify findings either detectable or not by the human eye, radiology is now moving from a subjective perceptual skill to more objective science. Radiologists, who were at the forefront of the digital era in medicine, can guide the introduction of AI solutions that accommodate ethical and regulatory requirements into healthcare.
