Will AI replace doctors who read X-rays, or just make them better than ever?

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — How good would an algorithm have to be to take over your job? It’s a new question for many workers amid the rise of ChatGPT and other AI programs that can hold conversations, write stories and even generate songs and images within seconds. “If we don’t know on what cases the AI was tested, or whether those cases are similar to the kinds of patients we see in our practice, there’s just a question in everyone’s mind as to whether these are going to work for us,” said Dr. Curtis Langlotz, a radiologist who runs an AI research center at Stanford University. Not because the technology isn’t ready, according to AI executives, but because radiologists aren’t yet comfortable turning over even routine tasks to algorithms. “We tell them, ‘Let the machine look at it, you sign the report and be done with it.’” Radiologists tend to overestimate their own accuracy, McClennan says.

Opinion: It’s not just hype. AI could revolutionize diagnosis in medicine

LA Times  

The history of medical diagnosis is a march through painstaking observation. Other times, misdiagnosis occurs because the illness has features that do not match known patterns — they do not fit the script, such as when a heart attack occurs without telltale symptoms or EKG findings. Researchers across the country, including at the Mayo Clinic and UC San Francisco, have …

In the past year, there has been a widespread, wobbly feeling of the ground shifting beneath our feet. And will so-called knowledge workers such as lawyers, journalists, consultants and creative professionals still have work in a few years’ time, when their jobs could be completed by generative AI to a good enough standard? The outputs of AI software today can …

Can AI really replace radiologists?

The Hindu  

For a while now, artificial intelligence has been touted as the replacement for radiologists. Building Trust For instance, when the AI system reported that a patient had ‘X%’ of a disease, doctors altered their own diagnosis in a way that reduced positive results, indicating a lack of trust. “So, we use AI for speed and ease but we monitor its …

The study's authors also believe the algorithm could potentially flag patients for isolation and testing who are not otherwise under investigation for Covid-19. It would take seconds for our system to screen a patient and determine if that patient needs to be isolated," said study author Aggelos Katsaggelos from Northwestern University in the US. To develop, train and test the …
