Man, it was not too many years ago when there was an explosion of job recruitments for radiologists. As hospitals got more of them, needed new hires for all hours of operation.

No kidding. We fell way behind on hiring for that but now if you spent the ~2 years to become a rad-tech you are basically fucked.

I have a feeling that anything image based that requires pattern recognition is now a dead field. There have been articles for over a year saying how the "AI" catches cancer or other problems long before a doctor can because it never gets tired, it never "misses something" because its really, really, good at looking at the data.

Too bad they're not using it to find missing kids, or identify anyone making cp.

Radiology without radiologists does not sound sustainable for some reason. Look how bad Waze jumped the shark lately and now your wife gets an automatic Google calendar appointment for radical double mastectomy.

They must have found a valuable use for that human tissue...
