I recently read a piece that made a familiar argument: as disease complexity and aging populations exponentially increase our imaging backloads, it’s only a matter of when, not if, AI will begin to fully replace human radiologists.

But this narrative that AI is disrupting radiology just hasn’t happened yet. We’re putting the cart way in front of the horse. Will AI replace radiologists? Many radiologists don’t even feel AI yet, much less feel threatened by it.
As a radiologist myself, I’ve seen this firsthand. In fact, I know a radiologist who recently went to part-time and was offered $1 million-compensation...
