Abstract
The aim of our study was to assess the attitudes towards AI and teleradiology and their current usage in pediatric radiology within German-speaking countries.From March to May 2023, we conducted an anonymous online survey among members of the Society for German-speaking Pediatric Radiologists (GPR) and the Swiss Society for Pediatric Radiology (SGPR) via the SurveyMonkey platform. The survey consisted of 25 items with rating scales and open-ended responses.Out of 418 society members, 36 completed the questionnaire (8.6%). Teleradiology (50% fully agree, 27.8% partly agree) and AI (38.9% fully agree, 22.2% partly agree) were considered relevant for pediatric radiology by the majority of respondents. Teleconsultation for second opinions is regularly used in 58% of the departments. Currently, AI does not play a significant role in the daily work of 52.8% of respondents. Beyond segmentation, AI is used primarily for image acquisition and dose reduction. Over 80% of respondents indicated that bone age determination is well-suited for an AI solution, yet only 31% routinely use such a solution.AI and teleradiology have a high level of acceptance in German-speaking pediatric radiology (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, i.e. the DACH region) and are seen as a possible strategy for improving pediatric radiology care. This contrasts with the current low level of use in clinical routine. · Pediatric radiologists in the DACH region consider AI and teleradiology to be important for pediatric radiology care.. · AI/teleradiology are seen as viable options to enhance pediatric radiology care.. · However, the actual use of AI/teleradiology in everyday routine is low.. · Sturm M, von Kalle T, Renz DM et al.

期刊介绍：
Die RöFo veröffentlicht Originalarbeiten, Übersichtsartikel und Fallberichte aus dem Bereich der Radiologie und den weiteren bildgebenden Verfahren in der Medizin. Es dürfen nur Arbeiten eingereicht werden, die noch nicht veröffentlicht sind und die auch nicht gleichzeitig einer anderen Zeitschrift zur Veröffentlichung angeboten wurden. Alle eingereichten Beiträge unterliegen einer sorgfältigen fachlichen Begutachtung.
Gegründet 1896 – nur knapp 1 Jahr nach der Entdeckung der Röntgenstrahlen durch C.W. Röntgen – blickt die RöFo auf über 100 Jahre Erfahrung als wichtigstes Publikationsmedium in der deutschsprachigen Radiologie zurück. Sie ist damit die älteste radiologische Fachzeitschrift und schafft es erfolgreich, lange Kontinuität mit dem Anspruch an wissenschaftliches Publizieren auf internationalem Niveau zu verbinden. Durch ihren zentralen Platz im Verlagsprogramm stellte die RöFo die Basis für das heute umfassende und erfolgreiche Radiologie-Medienangebot im Georg Thieme Verlag.
Besonders eng verbunden ist die RöFo mit der Geschichte der Röntgengesellschaften in Deutschland und Österreich. Sie ist offizielles Organ von DRG und ÖRG und die Mitglieder der Fachgesellschaften erhalten die Zeitschrift im Rahmen ihrer Mitgliedschaft. Mit ihrem wissenschaftlichen Kernteil und dem eigenen Mitteilungsteil der Fachgesellschaften bietet die RöFo Monat für Monat ein Forum für den Austausch von Inhalten und Botschaften der radiologischen Community im deutschsprachigen Raum.
