Improving radiology report writing with artificial intelligence
Official title: Using Artificial Intelligence to Improve Radiologists' Performance in Radiology Report Writing: a Randomised Controlled Trial
Run by Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology · NCT06907927 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if using artificial intelligence can help radiologists write better reports compared to those who don’t use the AI.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are radiologists with clinical experience between six months and ten years who submit more than ten reports daily.
✕Probably not a fit
Radiologists who review reports or have less than six months or more than ten years of clinical experience will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of artificial intelligence software in enhancing the performance of radiologists in writing radiology reports. The study involves two groups: a control group that does not use the AI software and an experimental group that does. By comparing the quality of reports generated by both groups, the trial aims to determine if AI can lead to significant improvements in report writing. Radiologists with specific experience levels and report submission rates are eligible to participate.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to higher quality radiology reports, improving patient care and diagnostic accuracy.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of AI in radiology is a growing field, this specific approach to improving report writing through a randomized controlled trial is relatively novel.
