The emergence of artificial intelligence has brought many hypotheses/controversies among radiologists. Our proposal is to evaluate succinctly what radiologists think about the arrival of artificial intelligence into their daily practice.

We evaluated 98 radiologists from 5 institutions (public and private) with a period of activity in thearea ranging of zero to more than 10 years, using an online questionnaire with the following questions: Are you resident? Howlong time in radiology do you have? (including medical residency) 0-5 years; 6-10 years; more than 10 years. What is your subspecialty? Abdominal? Neuro? Generalist? Thoracic? MSK? Do you think the radiologist will be extinct? Do you think the radiologist will have a difference work? With the artificial intelligence,...

We interviewed 98 radiologists. As the findings:Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 77,5% are not residents; 22,5% are residents Experience in radiology: 38,8% have more than 10 years; 32,6% have 0-5 years; 28,6 % have 6-10 years Subspecialty: 30,6% are generalists; 28,6% are abdominal radiologists; 19,4% are MSK radiologists; 16,30% are neuroradiologists; 5,1% are thoracic radiologists. 93,8% believe the radiologist will not be extinct. 91% imagine that in the future the radiologist will have a different kind of work. 68% speculate that with artificial intelligence,...

The vast majority of the interviewed radiologists believe that the specialty will not end. Actually, most think it will undergo major changes in a short time. Despite this perception and the fear of reducing jobs, most are not preparing themselves for the change, assuming a role as passive viewers of this new world.
