Description

Current trends in clinical radiography practice include the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and related applications to improve patient care and enhance research. However, in low resource countries there are unique barriers to the process of AI integration. Using Ghana as a case study, this paper seeks to discuss the potential impact of AI on future radiographic practice in low-resource settings. The opportunities, challenges and the way forward to optimise the potential benefits of AI in future practice within these settings have been explored.
