Radiologists' perception is likely to influence the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) into clinical practice. We investigated knowledge and attitude towards AI by radiologists residents in Europe beyond.Between April July 2019, a survey on fear replacement, knowledge, was accessible residents. The distributed through several radiological societies, author networks, social media. Independent predictors replacement positive were assessed using multivariable logistic regression.The completed 1,041 respondents from 54 mostly European countries. Most male (n = 670, 65%), median age 38 (24-74) years, n 142 (35%) residents, 471 (45%) worked an academic center. Basic AI-specific associated with (adjusted OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.10-2.21, p 0.01), while intermediate 0.40, 0.20-0.80, 0.01) or advanced 0.43, 0.21-0.90, 0.03) inversely fear. A observed 48% 501) only having heard AI, 11.65, 4.25-31.92, < 0.001), 17.65, 6.16-50.54, 0.001).Limited levels among radiology are fear, AI. Additional training may therefore improve adoption.• Forty-eight percent have open proactive (AI), 38% • Intermediate enhance practice, rudimentary appear be inhibitive. should incorporated curricula help facilitate its adoption.
