      ) bring to light the perception among medical students that emerging technologies (ET) including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and robotics will limit job prospects for several medical specialties, particularly Radiology. This analysis was performed at a single institution, however similar hesitancy toward radiology as a career choice by trainees due to ET has been reported across other institutions as well (
