HERCA publishes a report on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to significantly transform healthcare in the near future.

At the same time, its introduction raises important questions related to patient safety, regulatory compliance, as well as potential benefits and associated risks.

Within the framework of the European collaboration HERCA, dedicated work is underway to identify radiation protection–related issues linked to the use of AI in healthcare. This work aims to provide a strategic foundation and guidance for member organizations to support continued knowledge development, standardization efforts, and regulatory activities.

The current report (prepared by HERCA WGMA and approved during the 36th HERCA Board of Heads meeting in Nov 2025 in The Hague) constitutes a first step in this work.
