Limitations and ethical considerations associated with the implementation of AI into IR.

Limitations/Challenges
Ensuring optimal AI learning [1]
Small datasets for AI training [29,30]
Standardization of IR practice [31,32]
Procedural applicability and incorporation of new technology into an established healthcare system [33]
Variations in patient anatomy and pathology [34]
Currently there are fewer suitable uses for AI in IR compared to diagnostic radiology [11]
Ethical Considerations
Conflicts of interest between AI developers and radiologists [8]
Effort to prioritize human rights and freedoms such as privacy, dignity and safety [35]
Disruption of the direct responsibility between physicians and their patients [36]
