Integration of AI-enabled algorithms into the radiology workflow presents a complex array of challenges that span operational, technical, clinical, and regulatory domains. Successfully overcoming these hurdles requires a multifaceted approach, including strategic planning, educational initiatives, and careful consideration of the practical implications for radiologists' workloads. Institutions must navigate these challenges with a clear understanding of the potential benefits and limitations of both vended and in-house developed AI tools.
