Its all diagnostics, not just radiology. The nurse taking care of me was using what she said was an "app" to figure out why I kept passing out. Turns out it was a rare reaction to an fluoroquin antibiotic, and a change in meds fixed it.
In 10 years, all medical docs will be doing most of their diagnostics from a tablet, inputting symptoms and answering questions to get a result. Tablet will say "do X test on abdomen with your hand, and report if it is hard, lumpy, etc" and the doctor is just doing the physical part. In 20 years, the new crop of interns will think diagnostics is "impossible" without the tablet, because there are "too many conditiona to memorize". In 30 years, this tablet will be the cornerstone of medicine, without which countries collapse. The next few decades WILL see the rise of semi-successful 90IQ "doctors", or they might be renamed to some special kind of nurse, but do the same job.
However sugery and most hands-on disciplines, will still require training and practice. AI can assist very little there.
