Context: Artificial intelligence (AI) has a critical role in hospitals that have successfully implemented it and achieved international rankings, because these institutions can serve as benchmarks for other hospitals. The main objective of this article was to examine the characteristics of pioneer hospitals in AI, with a focus on radiology departments. Results: Hospital type, innovation, transparency, strong leadership, learning, and hospital size were identified as characteristics of pioneer hospitals. These hospitals have used AI in radiology departments to analyze data, predict outcomes, support clinical decision-making and operational efficiency, and improve diagnostic capabilities and workflow. Conclusion: Successful AI integration in pioneer radiology departments depends on synergy between technical readiness and organizational factors. Hospitals can enhance diagnostic accuracy and operational efficiency by prioritizing strong leadership, a collaborative culture, and a clear digital strategy alongside technological investment.
