AI won't replace radiologists, yet!

A recent study published in The British Medical Journal tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) could pass the examination for the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR). Radiologists in the United Kingdom (UK) must pass the FRCR examination before completing their training. Assuming that AI can pass the same test, it could replace radiologists. The final FRCR exam has three components, and candidates require a passing mark in each component to pass the exam overall. In the rapid reporting component, candidates must analyze and interpret 30 radiographs in 35 minutes and correctly report at least 90% of these to pass this part of the exam. This session gauges candidates for accuracy and speed.
