      ) conducted the largest survey of US radiology residents to date, providing a broad snapshot of US radiology residents’ perspectives on the need for and purpose of AI and machine learning (ML) education in radiology training, reaching 209 residents from 21 programs throughout the United States. Keeping with the trends of several such studies in the US and internationally, this survey demonstrated that an overwhelming majority, 83% of respondents, agreed that AI should be a part of the radiology education curriculum.
