Qualitative interview study reveals key facilitators and barriers to autonomous brain MRI adoption among stakeholders, highlighting the need for transparent AI and human oversight.

Key Points

To investigate how patients, care partners, and healthcare professionals perceive an autonomous brain MRI system utilizing artificial intelligence for image analysis and condition monitoring.
Conducted a qualitative interview study with patients, care partners, and healthcare professionals (N=18).
Coded and analyzed interview transcripts using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF).
Identified 12 of 14 TDF domains as relevant, with knowledge and structured communication emerging as primary facilitators of stakeholder trust and confidence.
Identified primary concerns regarding patient self-scanning capabilities, absence of emergency on-site staff, and AI accountability, balanced by perceived gains in convenience and diagnostic efficiency.
