Even if AI does the job of reading medical imaging extremely well, I’d still want a radiologist to double-check the scans.
And it clearly would be necessary because even these higly sophisticated models would only look for what they are trained for and will have a lot of arbitrary/non relevant findings.
Also someone has to take responsibility. The moment software firms are willing to take full responsibility without disclaimers I will start to believe they might be able to replace some people.
I see it as bulk imaging goes through the ML, which flags things, orders additional more detailed targeted scans, and those elevate to radiologists.
Instead, they're just gonna throw away the radiologists and make everything computer.
