I hurt my arm a while back and the ER guy didn't spot the radial head fracture, but the specialist did. No big deal since the treatment was the same either way.
I rate techs against non-radiology trained physicians in terms of identifying pathology. However techs aren’t anywhere near the ability of a radiologist.
Persuading junior techs not to scan each other and decide the diagnosis is a reoccurring problem, and it comes up too often.
These techs are trained and are good. I have too many stories about things techs have missed which a radiologist has immediately spotted.
Calling the edge cases correctly, I would think.

You're specifically trained to look at the scans, and not to do 75 other things as well, only to use scans to aid your whatever you're doing.
