Radiology has held the most potential for non-human analysis. Granted, if it gets too good, the insurance lobby will stop it.

Most of medicine though, not happening.

    Insurance companies wouldn't want to stop it, they'd be hard pushing for its use to be law! Preventative measures are MUCH cheaper to pay for than treatment costs. And they also wouldn't have to pay as many human radiologists.

    Maybe. There’s also the CT to rule out X, all clear there, but what’s this troubling image of X on the periphery we never would’ve gone looking for as is.

    Imagine AI programmed to only report on the fields the test was ordered for and nothing else.
