Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming integral to the health sector, particularly radiology, because it enhances diagnostic accuracy and optimizes patient care. This study aims to assess the awareness and acceptance of AI among radiology professionals in Saudi Arabia, identifying the educational and training needs to bridge knowledge gaps and enhance AI-related competencies.
Methods: This cross-sectional observational study surveyed radiology professionals across various hospitals in Saudi Arabia.
Secondary Sjogren's syndrome (sSS) is a medical condition that occurs in individuals with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis. It predominantly affects females rather than males. We present a case of a 32-year-old female with a 3-year history of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who presented to the internal medicine and rheumatology clinic with several complaints, including swelling and tenderness in her left jaw, dry mouth (xerostomia), irritated eyes (xerophthalmia), severe joint pain, and a decreased in saliva production.

Methods: Employing a cross-sectional design, the study surveyed 133 female radiographers using a self-developed questionnaire covering demographics, awareness and knowledge, workplace practices, communication, and satisfaction.
Results: The survey showed high awareness among radiographers, with 97% acknowledging radiation risks during pregnancy, although 42.
Purpose: In pediatric medicine, precise estimation of bone age is essential for skeletal maturity evaluation, growth disorder diagnosis, and therapeutic intervention planning. Conventional techniques for determining bone age depend on radiologists' subjective judgments, which may lead to non-negligible differences in the estimated bone age. This study proposes a deep learning-based model utilizing a fully connected convolutional neural network(CNN) to predict bone age from left-hand radiographs.
