Radiologists

“You know, the second thing, you've heard all the kind of economic data, everything from radiologists who are supposed to be cooked every year for, I think about 20 years now. And of course, job postings are higher than they've ever been, as well as programmers…”

“And so, I think, in the end, we're gonna end up with this application where AI really does help radiologists. It helps radiologists get more and more higher, higher throughput, because the AI can do some parts, and the radiologists do some parts, and they're c…”

“So I think there's now of the order of a hundred AI systems for interpreting scans that have been federally approved and they're being used a lot by radiologists.”

“I still think in terms of reading scans that'll be done more and more by AI. And in the end, AI will be doing, reading nearly all the scans. Maybe in a few very tricky cases, radiologists will be consulted.”

“My feeling is like, no, there's always going to be this human, and we can say in the loop, but also taking the lead.”

“The surprising outcome is the number of radiologists actually went up And the demand for radiologists is skyrocketed.”

“A hundred percent of radiology applications are now AI powered. That's completely true. And in some eight years time, it is now completely pervaded radiology. However, what's interesting is that the number of radiologists increased.”

“Like AI has been able to do a better job than human radiologists. Like prior to this whole wave, like neural nets were able to do a better job than human radiologists and looking at scans. And yet since the, you know, this sort of proliferation of AI, the numb…”

“You also got Jeffrey Hinton's prediction that radiologists would be unemployed within a certain time frame, and by that time, radiologist wages were higher than ever, and employment was higher than ever.”

“Well, they had 11 computer vision models working in the Mayo Clinic, and they're hiring radiologists.”

“If you look at radiology, suddenly the requirement for radiologists can actually go down with the way AI can machine learning can use, can be used to just interpret the X-rays and interpret all different kinds of radio radiology outputs that come. CT scans and…”

“I think radiologists will not be replaced by AI. They will be replaced by radiologists using AI.”

“If I am to fast forward five to 10 years, We will need more radiologists than we have now because we will need more medical imaging than we do now.”

“So we have one radiologist that looks at the entire body. They're trained in identifying what they see in, in every single organ. And then we have subspecialties that can chime in if there's something abnormal and they need help.”

“Mayo Clinic has 11 AI models functioning in the clinic, and they're still looking to hire radiologists.”

“Radiologists will not take x-ray. Well, I guess it might take them, but they won't analyze them for sure. They'll look at what AI says, check that it's right. And then it's like kind of bedside manner time. Like, you know, tell the patient, maybe tell them wha…”

“In MRI data, your radiologist doesn't see more than like a small percentage of what's there in your radiology images”

“I think where there might be more of a need for specialized models Is when it comes down to kind of higher stakes workflows, and I think that might look in the short term more like a physician's assistant. And so imagine, for example, an agent that can work wi…”

“A deep mind who I spent a long time working with on public outreach projects one of their big systems is rather than just having an algorithm that tells you what the answer is, is having two separate AIs, right? Two separate agents. One of them that highlights…”

“And I think one of the most surprising things we'll see is the emergence of new specialties that come from the use of technology in healthcare, much like radiologists, of course, came on the backs of the ability of the availability of x-ray technologies.”

“It takes five years to train a radiologist, and in five years, deep learning will get better results than a trained radiologist, so we should stop training them right now.”
