- naveen99 8y agoNo. I think it was just a large drop in compensation along with increase in productivity targets making radiologists less likely to sell radiology to MED students. Radiology job market improved since then, residency spots are not going Unfilled anymore. ML may put radiologists out of a job, but it will take some time I think. Lots of changes will happen by then. Radiology is a nice place to be for hacker types in medicine. It’s actually a fun place to do ML research which I do also (radiologist / AI researcher) Edit: Medicare has walked back some compensation cuts for medical imaging (for multiple procedures on the same day). My tin foil hat theory is the cost cutters got spooked by the prospect of no more us graduates in radiology.
