So instead of having to train and employ radiologists, we will train and employ radiologists and pay for the AI inference. Excuse me, but how is this beneficial in any way? It's trivially more expensive, and the result has the same quality? And productivity is also the same?
A lot of the tech in the space is workflow related right now. The AI scans triage to the top those cases that are deemed clinically significant, potentially saving time. I can’t tell you it isn’t solely responding to the referring doctor’s urgent stamp though.
Not sure about other hospital systems, but the one I work at is developing CV systems to help fill workforce gaps in places where there isn’t as many trained professionals or even resources to train professionals
From the article:
> Some products can reorder radiologist worklists to prioritize critical cases, suggest next steps for care teams, or generate structured draft reports that fit into hospital record systems.
