A.I. Was Coming for Radiologists’ Jobs. So Far, They’re Just More Efficient. - The New York Times

## AI in Radiology: Friend, Not Foe at Mayo Clinic The initial fear surrounding AI's impact on radiology jobs has been challenged by real-world experiences. At the Mayo Clinic, artificial intelligence is proving to be a **valuable asset** rather than a job stealer. > Experts initially predicted a significant displacement of radiologists due to AI advancements.

### AI's Supportive Role Instead of replacing radiologists, AI is being integrated to **enhance their capabilities and efficiency**. * Dr. Theodora Potretzke, a radiologist at the Mayo Clinic, contributed to the development of an AI tool. * This tool is saving her approximately 15 to 30 minutes per kidney image examination.

This demonstrates AI's potential to **streamline workflows** and allow radiologists to focus on more complex tasks, ultimately improving patient care.
