“I'm truly just blown away by how little impact AI has had in our field, even when it comes to pure diagnostics.
My hospital employs a limited number of "models" for basic tasks like pulmonary nodule detection, and even then they suck to such a point that I stopped using them early on in my residency.
Beyond that, I have never heard of anything remotely approaching the point of analyzing CT, MR, US, PET, or catheter angiography accurately and producing a complete report.
The technology is not just in "early stages"...it's plainly nonexistent. And the "cutting edge" research that I review ain't exactly making much progress (it's usually for much more banal bullshit, like fixing reporting errors, and triaging critical findings...which is all well and good, but only modestly impactful in the setting of a true clinical workflow).”
