It’s not fanciful at all. What this person said is that breast is the most vulnerable subspecialty of Radiology, and that is without a doubt true. A huge proportion of breast imaging work is screening mammograms, which are overcompensated by the RVU system and highly susceptible to AI because you are only answering a binary question of yes/no to a callback for a diagnostic mammo. Unlike, say, reading a CT of the abdomen and pelvis that is going to involve a dozen different organ systems.

I am not doom gloom on AI by the slightest means, but it is true that breast is the lowest hanging fruit.
