Sure the politics of health systems will slow down implementation. However, I have seen many times in my career where technology has made peoples job titles more "scarce" as the efficiency gains of new medical software have decreased the time needed for people to do that job.
Radiologists are likely to see a lower demand as a result of these technologies and will either A) Spend more time on complicated cases or B) Be let go. Nobody is saying ALL radiologists are going to be out a job. Look at dosimetry as a recent example of how software improved, and the time to contour per patient decreased, causing many health systems to shrink their dosimetrist staff or offload the responsibilities to the physician office.
This isn't the first time technology has been applied to healthcare, change will come slowly and eventually people will have to find new fields to work within healthcare.
