Article Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate perceptions and expectations towards artificial intelligence (AI) applications in diagnostic radiology among radiologists across academic, non-academic and private practice settings in the Federal State of Styria, Austria. It also sought to determine how participant's characteristics and AI-specific knowledge might influence these views.

Methods: An online quantitative survey comprising 20 multiple-choice questions in German language was distributed via email to radiologists in outpatient and hospital settings throughout Styria in 2024.

Results: Out of 149 radiologists contacted, 66 responded. Of these, 75.4% reported having basic knowledge of AI, 13.8% indicated good to very good knowledge and only 10.8% had minimal AI-specific knowledge. The majority (84.4%) expressed willingness to use certified AI software in diagnostics. About half of the respondents (50.8%) believed that AI would not fully replace radiologists in the next 10-15 years, although 46.0% anticipated partial replacement. Additionally, 87.7% did not foresee a decrease in professional income due to AI integration. 64.6% anticipated improvement in diagnostic tasks through AI, with this expectation being significantly linked to an academic career (χ = 8.97,   0.01). However, opinions varied on AI's potential to outperform radiologists in diagnostics in the near future. There was no statistically significant relationship between participant's AI-specific knowledge and perceptions and expectations towards AI.

Conclusion: The study reveals a generally positive attitude towards AI among radiologists, with uncertainties about its future performance compared to human radiologists. Although AI is anticipated to positively influence workload without reducing income, there may be a discrepancy between these expectations and actual outcomes.

Visuospatial perception, which is based on the comprehension of objects and space, requires spatial attention to the surrounding environment. Stimulus-related elements that affect visuospatial tasks include object geometry, familiarity, complexity, and picture plane versus depth rotation. The dorsal stream pathway from the visual cortex, which is implicated in spatial processing, reflects the spatial component needed to orient the focus of attention to the location of the expected target stimulus.

Humans live in an environment that contains rich auditory stimuli, which must be processed efficiently. The entrainment of neural oscillations to acoustic inputs may support the processing of simple and complex sounds. However, the characteristics of this entrainment process have been shown to be inconsistent across species and experimental paradigms.

The perception of olfactory stimuli can influence animal emotions and behaviours, which are critical for survival and adaptation. This study explored the properties of three olfactory stimuli (orange essential oil, wolf faeces, and cadaverine) to induce emotion in sheep, in a non-stressful environment enriched with social and food resources. Contrary to expectations, wolf faeces, while repellent, did not trigger overt stress behaviours such as increased vocalisations or agitation.

The majority of the literature contains outcomes of paediatric otoplasty with multiple surgeons' outcomes. However, to date, a single surgeon's case series numbering over 1000 adult cases in the same center has not been published. Cosmetic ear surgery in adults requires a completely different approach compared with children for the operating surgeon regarding assessment and technique.
