Vendors’ perspectives on AI implementation in medical imaging and oncology: a cross-sectional survey

Question AI vendors' perspectives on unmet needs, challenges, and opportunities for AI adoption in medical imaging are largely underrepresented in recent research. Findings Provision of consistent funding, optimised infrastructure, and user acceptance were highlighted by vendors as key enablers of AI implementation. Clinical relevance Vendors' input and collaboration with clinical practitioners are necessary to clinically implement AI. This study highlights real-world challenges that AI vendors face and opportunities they value during AI implementation. Keeping the dialogue channels open is key to these collaborations.
