AI Will Change Radiology, but It Won’t Replace Radiologists
Recent advances in artificial intelligence have led to speculation that AI might one day replace human radiologists. Researchers have developed deep learning neural networks that can identify pathologies in radiological images such as bone fractures and potentially cancerous lesions, in some cases more reliably than an average radiologist. For the most part, though, the best systems are currently on par with human performance and are used only in research settings.
That said, deep learning is rapidly advancing, and it’s a much better technology than previous approaches to medical image analysis. This probably does portend a future in which AI plays an important role in radiology.…

Radiation Dose in X-Ray and CT Exams
Comparisons of effective radiation dose with background radiation exposure for several radiological procedures.
If You Look at X-Rays or Moles for a Living, AI Is Coming for Your Job
Unleashing that kind of AI on the medical world's mountains of patient data could speed up diagnoses and get patients on the path to recovery much sooner. But it also promises to drastically change the job description for doctors who identify as information specialists—those whose primary tasks involve deciphering diagnoses from images. Doctors who get their MDs in image interpretation, namely pathologists, radiologists, and dermatologists, are the most vulnerable.
Content-Based Image Retrieval from large Medical Image Databases
Could allow doctors to compare the results of high-resolution computed tomography scans to diagnose and treat similar cases worldwide.
Job Prospects Are Dimming for Radiology Trainees
For years, medical students who chose a residency in radiology were said to be on the ROAD to happiness. The acronym highlighted the specialties — radiology, ophthalmology, anesthesiology and dermatology — said to promise the best lifestyle for doctors, including the most money for the least grueling work. Not anymore.

Teleradiology: For or Against?
Radiology professionals seem to be split down the middle about whether teleradiology services are good or bad for the field.
The Art of Radiology
It is easy and accurate to refer to an X-ray as a plain film, plain radiograph conventional X-ray, routine X-ray etc, however, these terms, understate the skill and the value of that image and what the image can reveal. An X-ray examination is ordered to see inside of the body part; to see what makes it work; to see what is wrong; to see pathology.
Why What You Think About Radiation Might Just Be Wrong
New evidence suggests those warnings about low-dose exposure in any setting were ill-founded.
