Artificial Intelligence Is (and Isn't) Transforming Radiology

Radiologists say that using AI can make their practice better without rendering them obsolete. Artificial intelligence conjures up scenarios of robots building other robots or self-driving vehicles putting truck drivers out of work. But these days, IBM's Watson computer is just as likely to interpret a CT scan, using AI to revolutionize radiology and other medical fields. Researchers believe AI will not put human radiologists on the endangered species list anytime soon, if ever. But AI and deep learning offer speed, accuracy and consistency to extend the capabilities of human imaging professionals.
