Dr. Ayanda Nciki

Ayanda Nciki is a South African researcher in radiology whose work focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence into clinical imaging practice. Affiliated with South African training hospitals and contributing to the South African Journal of Radiology, Nciki engages with emerging technological shifts shaping diagnostic medicine and medical education.

The featured study explores perceptions and attitudes toward AI among trainee and qualified radiologists, highlighting themes of readiness, ethical considerations, and the evolving relationship between machine learning and clinical expertise. The research emphasizes educational gaps, professional adaptability, and the importance of structured AI training within registrar programmes.

Based on the limited available publications at present, Nciki’s work demonstrates a clear interest in health systems research, technology adoption, and capacity building in radiology. The contribution supports informed policy dialogue and curriculum development, positioning AI as a collaborative tool that enhances, rather than replaces, radiological practice.
