Changing

Most of the medical AI tools cleared by the FDA work with images. They act as a second set of eyes and help sort the worklist, but the radiologist still writes and signs the report.

Where this job sits on the map

In the same group: 78 of 100 professions.

What changes

  1. Software flags suspicious areas and moves urgent studies up the worklist

  2. Reports can be dictated and formatted from a template faster

  3. The radiologist's role grows as the person who checks and challenges what the software says

AI drafts, the person decides

How the work splits here: AI prepares a draft, the person checks it and makes the call.

AI makes the draft

What AI does

  • Marking possible findings on an image, in software cleared by the FDA
  • Sorting the worklist by urgency
  • Formatting a dictated report to a template
  • Explaining a report to the patient in plain language, based on the radiologist's own text
You check itRead it, check the facts, fix it. Without this check the draft goes nowhere.
You decide and stay responsible

What stays with the person

  • The final report and the signature
  • The whole clinical picture, not a single image
  • Decisions in disputed and rare cases
  • Consulting with referring physicians
