Abstract

Context: Artificial intelligence (AI) has a critical role in hospitals that have successfully implemented it and achieved international rankings, because these institutions can serve as benchmarks for other hospitals. The main objective of this article was to examine the characteristics of pioneer hospitals in AI, with a focus on radiology departments. Evidence Acquisition: This narrative review was performed according to SANRA guidelines. Data were collected by searching PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect for articles published between January 2019 and June 2025, using search strings that included ('artificial intelligence' OR 'AI') AND ('pioneer hospital') AND ('adoption' OR 'implementation') AND ('radiology'). After screening and selecting 41 papers for the final study, the characteristics of pioneer hospitals were determined. Two independent reviewers then confirmed the common features of pioneer hospitals through discussion and consensus. Risk of bias and reliability were assessed based on study design and transparency of reporting, and grey literature was used cautiously and clearly marked with access dates. Results: Hospital type, innovation, transparency, strong leadership, learning, and hospital size were identified as characteristics of pioneer hospitals. These hospitals have used AI in radiology departments to analyze data, predict outcomes, support clinical decision-making and operational efficiency, and improve diagnostic capabilities and workflow. Conclusion: Successful AI integration in pioneer radiology departments depends on synergy between technical readiness and organizational factors. Hospitals can enhance diagnostic accuracy and operational efficiency by prioritizing strong leadership, a collaborative culture, and a clear digital strategy alongside technological investment.
