The American College of Radiology Council on Tuesday approved a “groundbreaking” framework for assessing the real-world deployment of AI.
Developed in conjunction with the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine, the document outlines steps imaging facilities can follow to implement, utilize and continually update AI tools.
The practice parameter applies to radiologists, techs, physicists, informaticists, administrators and others who deploy AI.
ACR and SIIM said the parameters help explain how practices can choose AI tools, evaluate them before deployment, track performance over time, and protect patient privacy.
The document also details steps including how to set up a governance group, keep an inventory of AI tools in use, run local acceptance testing and monitor real-world model performance.
Safdar noted that the parameters are based on principles of AI science, interoperability standards, expert involvement and “methodological precision.”
