Abstract
Many computer applications have been developed in radiology and other medical disciplines to help physicians make decisions. Artificial intelligence (AI)-an approach to computer-based manipulation of symbols to simulate human reasoning-forms the basis of many of these systems. This article's goals are to: acquaint the reader with the motivations and opportunities for computer-based medical decision support systems; identify AI techniques and applications in radiology decision making; assess the impact of these technologies; and consider new directions and opportunities for AI in radiology. Among the exciting new directions is the use of AI to integrate radiology reporting, online decision support, and just-in-time learning to provide useful information and continuing education that is embedded within a radiologist's daily workflow.
