The future of AI education in radiology is being reshaped by the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Literacy Course, directed by Jordan D. Perchik, MD. The Society for Advanced Body Imaging (SABI) is proud to partner with Artificial Intelligence in Radiology Education (AIRE) to offer this year’s free one-week course covering lectures on fundamental terms and applications of AI in radiology. Dr. Perchik identified a critical need for AI education within the radiology curriculum and by leveraging remote learning, the AI Literacy Course has successfully reached hundreds of radiology trainees worldwide since AIRE’s founding in 2020, enabling unprecedented access to AI education within the radiology community.
By providing interactive learning experiences, this program aims to empower radiologists to embrace AI technology and improve patient care outcomes. Upon completion of previous AIRE courses, participants reported a significant increase in their knowledge of fundamental AI terms and methods, with an impressive 93% attesting to the course's ability to enhance their understanding of AI.
”AI has the potential to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of radiology practice, but in order to fully realize its benefits, radiologists need to be properly educated on how to use this technology effectively,” says Dr. Perchik. “In developing AIRE, we hope to equip radiologists with the knowledge and skills they need to excel in the era of AI-driven healthcare.”
The program's main goal is to foster a deep understanding of AI technology among radiologists, empowering them to understand and apply these advancements to advance patient care outcomes pertinent to their practice. With a rotating two-year curriculum, all major subspecialty areas in radiology are covered. The 2024 course topics include Pediatric, Musculoskeletal, and Cardiac Radiology AI along with Quality Assurance and Ethical Considerations.
SABI President Dr. Ivan Pedrosa emphasizes the importance of proper education in maximizing the potential of AI in radiology practice
“Dr. Perchik has done an amazing job initiating and consolidating this AI course as an outstanding educational resource for radiologists at any stage of their career who wish to learn about AI. The partnership between SABI and AIRE aligns perfectly with SABI’s mission of innovation and translation of cutting-edge technology into the practice of body imaging”.
Scheduled to begin on September 30, this year's AI Literacy Course will culminate in a hybrid virtual and live hands-on session at the SABI Annual Meeting on October 5 in Washington, DC. This unique opportunity will enable participants to interact with innovative AI products, further enhancing their proficiency in leveraging AI technology in their practice. SABI takes pride in its partnership with AIRE to expand to an even larger audience this open-access educational resource for radiology professionals worldwide.
