Our AI issue has evolved…. As it appears that there is not the level of original research being undertaken by MRTs as we had envisioned, we are reframing our approach to this planned issue to instead curate a selection of review and editorial pieces. These will be packaged to elicit a balanced picture of how AI is conceptualized, perceived, and realized in the medical radiation sciences. What is it? How do we prepare for it? How will it impact us? How will it impact our patients? Do we need to take a role in informing its development and implementation? If you, or any of your colleagues, have any insight to any of these questions, please suggest to us how this might be fleshed out into a contribution for this unique upcoming special issue.
New to this special issue is a call for original submissions for a Letters to the Editor feature—a collection of correspondence from our readership. This includes, but is certainly not limited to: reflections on experiences in the workplace, different curricular approaches to preparing learners, or the cultivation of new skills and responsibilities regarding personalized medicine. The editors will be looking for letters that offer reflections, insights, and creative suggestions related to the challenges faced in this area from all disciplines. Please submit by August 12 , 2019 through the JMIRS website: https://www.jmirs.org
