What AI will do
- Screening scans for common anomalies
- Generating preliminary reports on standard findings
- Triaging scan urgency
What keeps you human
- Interpreting ambiguous or complex imaging with clinical context
- Correlating imaging findings with patient history
- Communicating findings to clinicians in complex cases
AI is genuinely performing at or above human level in specific radiology tasks like chest X-ray screening. But radiology overall — especially complex multi-system imaging and rare presentations — still requires the clinical judgment of a specialist. The role is transforming rather than disappearing.
