1. Why is it important to show AI confidence levels when presenting findings to radiologists?

   1. Confidence display is required by PACS vendor contracts
   2. Confidence scores satisfy regulatory requirements for AI deployment
   3. Radiologists need to know how heavily to weight each suggestion
   4. Higher confidence always indicates clinically significant findings

2. A radiology department is designing AI integration. Which presentation approach aligns with the lesson's recommendations?

   1. A separate screen that opens when AI detects an abnormality
   2. A mandatory popup that requires acknowledgment before continuing
   3. A printed report that accompanies the imaging study
   4. Inline findings directly within the existing PACS viewer

3. What is the recommended approach for dismissing AI findings in a well-designed second-read system?

   1. Dismissed findings are automatically escalated to a quality assurance team
   2. The system should allow frictionless dismissal without requiring justification
   3. Radiologists must provide a written justification for every dismissal
   4. Dismissal should require approval from a supervising physician

4. How should AI findings ideally flow into the final radiology report?

   1. AI findings are automatically appended to every report regardless of radiologist agreement
   2. AI generates the final report and the radiologist merely signs it
   3. AI findings are reported separately in a dedicated AI section visible to patients
   4. The radiologist decides whether to incorporate AI findings and how to phrase them

5. When an AI system flags a finding but the radiologist disagrees (AI says yes, radiologist says no), who should review this discrepancy?

   1. The hospital's IT department
   2. A designated quality assurance reviewer, typically another radiologist
   3. The AI vendor's clinical team
   4. The patient should be notified immediately

6. Which metric is most important for tracking the effectiveness of a second-read AI system?

   1. The speed at which AI processes each image
   2. The number of alerts generated per day
   3. Radiologist satisfaction surveys alone
   4. Catch rate combined with false-positive rate

7. Which statement accurately reflects what second-read AI cannot do in radiology?

   1. AI can substitute for the radiologist's professional judgment
   2. AI can eliminate all false-positive findings
   3. AI cannot replace the radiologist's responsibility framework
   4. AI can reliably determine clinical significance without radiologist input

8. Why are false positives a significant concern in second-read AI systems?

   1. False positives can be ignored without consequence
   2. False positives are clinically beneficial even when incorrect
   3. They waste radiologist attention and can contribute to alert fatigue
   4. False positives improve radiologist confidence in the AI

9. What happens when radiologists are forced to acknowledge every AI alert?

   1. The accuracy of the AI system improves automatically
   2. They report higher satisfaction with the AI system
   3. They learn to dismiss alerts reflexively without consideration
   4. They become more thorough in evaluating each finding

10. Why might a radiology department choose inline presentation over a separate screen for AI findings?

    1. Separate screens provide better image quality for AI overlays
    2. Inline presentation reduces the liability of the AI vendor
    3. Inline presentation keeps radiologists within their existing workflow without screen switching
    4. Inline presentation is mandated by insurance billing requirements

11. What is the purpose of tracking agreement rates between AI findings and radiologist interpretations?

    1. To determine whether radiologists should be fired for disagreement
    2. To identify cases for QA review and to improve AI training
    3. To calculate radiologist bonus payments
    4. To validate that the AI is always correct

12. How does a well-designed second-read AI system preserve radiologist authority?

    1. By requiring radiologists to follow AI recommendations
    2. By sending AI reports directly to referring physicians
    3. By automatically updating the report to reflect AI findings
    4. By allowing radiologists to dismiss findings without justification

13. What does the lesson mean by 'the alerts that matter need to feel different from the noise'?

    1. Noise should be eliminated entirely before deployment
    2. Significant alerts should be visually or functionally distinguished from low-value alerts
    3. All alerts should be presented with equal prominence
    4. Radiologists should ignore all but the most urgent alerts

14. Which scenario best illustrates the augmentation model described in the lesson?

    1. AI suggests a finding and the radiologist decides whether to include it in the final report
    2. AI automatically amends reports when it disagrees with the radiologist
    3. AI functions as the primary reader with radiologists as backup
    4. AI independently reads the study and generates a preliminary report

15. Why is it insufficient for AI to simply flag findings without providing context like confidence levels?

    1. Radiologists need context to appropriately weigh each suggestion against their own judgment
    2. Regulatory agencies require confidence scores by law
    3. AI flagged findings without confidence are always correct
    4. Confidence levels are only useful for research, not clinical practice
