AI is transforming radiology without replacing radiologists — the field has seen 75% of FDA-cleared AI medical devices approved for radiology as of early 2026. AI tools are improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, but error rates from human reading of images remain significant at 3-5% globally.
