- melling 7y agoNope, that is incorrect. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_radiology https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_radiology https://www.forbes.com/sites/techonomy/2014/11/08/philippine-startup-takes-on-global-radiologist-shortage/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/techonomy/2014/11/08/philippine...
- kranner 7y agoFair rebuttal, but I don't know if medical cartels would allow AI to replace their limited supply of cardiologists so easily. It is quite cheap here in India already (got an orbital MRI last week for $105.10, including radiologist's fees; it can go as low as $40) but having it cheaper and more easily available would help a lot more people.
