Abstract

Radiology is a field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of illness via the use of imaging technologies. Artificial intelligence in medical imaging has undoubtedly changed the way radiologists perform their duties. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are more important than ever, whether in smartphones, tablets and computers that we use every day to carry out our duties, or in the huge datasets processed to interpret images that serve as the backbone in the radiology profession. The radiology profession is cautious about the possibility of artificial intelligence (AI) replacing many radiologists. In this paper, we examine the issue and conclude that it will have no major effect on the radiology workforce.
