T5 โDevelopers and users of medical #AI algorithms can all contribute to making #AI more sustainable. Steps include the use of energy-efficient hardware, cloud computing and collaborative efforts to avoid redundancy in algorithm development. 1/2 #RadAIchat
T5 โ Also, energy source choices impact the #sustainability of #AI. The use of renewable energy during model development and deployment can substantially decrease #AI algorithm-related greenhouse gas emissions. 2/2 #RadAIchat
T4 โ Obvious sustainability metrics are energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. These similarly apply to #AI applications, as they do for the assessment of sustainability of imaging equipment. 1/2 #RadAIchat
T4 โ It may also be useful to calculate the net impact of an #AI application when introduced, e.g. if the energy savings of accelerated MRI scans that can be achieved with #DL-reconstructions outweigh the energy demand from model development and use. 2/2 #RadAIchat

T3 โThe environmental footprint of medical #AI varies among individual tools and applications. Sources of #AI-related greenhouse gas emissions include the often enormous energy demand for model development and data storage. 1/2 #RadAIchat
T3 โ However in comparison to the energy demand of large language models or crypto assets, the current carbon footprint of medical #AI is likely smaller. 2/2 #RadAIchat

T2 โ Particularly noninterpretative #AI applications can enhance #sustainability.
E.g. by improving operational efficiency by means of accelerated MRI exams with #DL-reconstruction or a reducing low-value imaging by the help of #AI-powered decision support tools. 1/2 #RadAIchat
T2 โ Noninterpretative #AI applications may also help optimize patient scheduling, thereby reducing scanner idle times and associated energy waste. 2/2 #RadAIchat

A1 โ #Sustainability in radiology includes a variety of concepts aimed at optimizing resource utilization and minimizing our environmental impact without compromising the delivery of high-value imaging. 1/2 #RadAIchat
A1 โ #Sustainability includes practices to reduce the energy consumption of medical imaging, minimize waste, and implement eco-friendly technologies and processes. 2/2

Great to see how @radiology_rsna and @RadiologyEditor keep promoting #sustainability in radiology with yet another series of articles this week!
Thank you @DrLindaMoy for the invitation to write this editorial on first steps toward greening MRI: rb.gy/7c5ad
Check out this special feature on the intersection of climate change, sustainability, and radiology, with ideas on what radiologists can do to help and a snapshot of the sustainability efforts at @RSNA. @drLindaMoy @RadiologyEditor @KateHanneman bit.ly/41ucseZ
Interested in reducing electricity cost and carbon footprint of your practice? ๐๐ฐ

Very well written and comprehensive report explaining why radiologists should care about sustainability! ๐
Reducing energy waste in daily practice can be a simple and effective first step. See our companion article in @radiology_rsna:
