Abstract: 
Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven research aimed at improving critical clinical procedures and results has significantly increased during the last decade and a half. AI-powered systems that support decisions can improve clinical workflows, aid in diagnosis, and facilitate individualized care. However, implementing these innovative solutions presents some significant impediments in clinical and care settings, requiring a careful examination of the legal, ethical, and regulatory issues. A strong governance framework is essential to promote AI adoption and practical application in healthcare. By offering insightful suggestions for all parties interested in promoting the creation and application of cutting-edge AI systems, this review study seeks to address the present issues in digital healthcare, particularly as they relate to the ethical and regulatory considerations in AI-driven medical imaging (MI). Hence, this perspective overview explores the ethical and legal concerns arising when AI technologies are used in therapeutic settings. It makes a groundbreaking contribution to the subject by highlighting the function of AI technology and providing a perceptive viewpoint on the legal and ethical issues involved, particularly in MI.
