AI won’t replace radiologists, but it will dramatically change their jobs
Ars Technica 1 month ago 18
Radiology is adding AI alongside physicians instead of replacing them, with AI matching or exceeding human performance in image interpretation for some tasks. By early 2026, about three-quarters of the 1,400 AI-enabled medical devices cleared by the US FDA were for radiology. Radiologists’ roles shift toward using AI to speed reporting, flag urgent cases, and detect abnormalities that may be missed, while the number of practitioners continues to grow.
