As we know, there is short supply of qualified radiologists — we have 1 radiologist per 1 lac people as against the recommended proportion of 1 radiologist per one thousand population. Thus radiologists are overworked and overburdened. It leads to exhaustion and reporting errors, as the time to read reports is hardly of a few seconds. Radiological reports are not transparent to patients as there are no simple explanations about the injury and their correlation with symptoms.

AI is an answer to lessen the burden of radiologists. It can automate several tasks and can generate detailed preliminary reports. Many labs are adopting AI-based radiological analysis.

There are over 30000 imaging businesses in India. They are manned by less than 10000 radiologists. The cost of each of radiologist is very high. It affects the margins. Radiologists too visit multiple centers to increase their income.

If Ai is used in radiological analysis, the radiologist will be free to focus on work that requires his or her expertise.
