   This is 100% true and very insightful, but not obvious to people who don't work in healthcare.

   You are correct! I should have said when an AI can do my job it can do anyone's job.

   IMHO the ABR isn't quite as powerful as you're indicating, but in general I agree. For what it's worth, I started a new residency program to train more radiologist, so I do have some skin in the game.

   Are you aware of any states in the US that have made it harder to sue doctors for malpractice? My point, which I made poorly, is this: There's a reason doctors that went to medical school in India and trained as Radiologists in India c

   All good points! Nobody knows the future! I jumped into this thread to share my thoughts, and my thoughts alone, because I'm not sure there are a lot of radiologists on HN. I certainly don't speak for all radiologists. But, I woul

   I agree with you, but here is where things get tricky: Everyday I see something on a scan yhat I've never seen before. And, possibly, no one has ever seen before. There is tremendous variation in human anatomy and pathology. So what do

    I have a fairly strong background in tech, and I've been programming computers since 1979 when my dad bought me a TRS-80. Tape drives FTW! I agree with almost everything you've said here. Except 'not in my lifetime', bec

    There's nothing special about radiology. And I do believe inertia will carry me through the end of my career, which has approximately 10 years left. However, it's my opinion that my job takes general intelligence, not just pattern

    I agree with you fully. And, I didn't say I would never be replaced. I said I would finish my career, which is approximately 10 more years at this point.

    There is a national shortage of radiologists in the US, with many hospital systems facing a backlog of unread cases measuring in the thousands. And, the baby boomers are starting to retire, it's only going to get worse. We aren't

    Depends on what you mean by 'see'. For example, let's say I'm looking at a chest x-ray. There is a pneumonia at the left lung base and I am clever enough to notice it. 'Aha', I think, congratulating myself at m

    Working radiologist here, 20 years experience. This article is surprisingly accurate. I fully expect to finish my career without being 'replaced' by AI. Happy to debate/answer questions :-)
