that radiologist isn’t losing their job. Every scan will always be signed off by someone that has a provider number that can be sued.

So it’s like the imaging studies I read where the tech who performs the study fills out the report. I review the images, maybe make a change and finalize the report. It helps with my work flow and does give a second set of eyes on things but ultimately I’m responsible.

So AI will at some point help with efficiency and with quality. But for radiologists they’ll read more and bill more.

Also medicine is the most risk averse, discombobulated, inefficient industry there is. The most powerful corporation in our industry still uses 1980s dos-based systems that are horrifically dangerous to patients in many of their hospitals. Medicine will be extremely slow to adapt to meaningful change with AI unless there is clear profit generation for the corporations and even then liability to those corporations will dictate a lot.
