Artificial intelligence (AI) and sustainability have been the subject of much research in the field of radiology throughout 2025. The future of the radiologist and our planet has been called into question. We have had to shift focus and evolve to embrace the progress AI can bring while limiting our environmental impact and maximising efficiency in the face of an ever-increasing workload. This year’s Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal “Year in Review” revisits the 10 most powerful articles published by our journal in 2025, exploring what’s next for AI, sustainability and system efficiency.
