indicated that they were fairly acquainted with the role of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
[Mean ± SD; 2.40 ± 1.06]. (4)
Traditional procedures used in radiology for diagnostic reasons are less effective as
compared to newer AI based approaches. Developing nations like Pakistan are still
underperforming in education, research, and deployment of AI in general and in healthcare
in particular. There is a need to include AI in the health system which may aid not only in
accelerating diagnosis and treatment but also injudicious resource allocation.(5)
