The relevant question is not why radiologists aren't widely using AI software, but how accurate is the AI software relative to their human counterparts. Previous studies on the subject indicate that the accuracy of radiologists and AI software is comparable.
Radiologists are among the highest paid medical specialists and have little incentive to use AI software. It would be against their own interest - their compensation would go down, and their skills would be commoditized. Never mind that if they provided diagnosis feedback to the AI software to further strengthen the ANN models it would accelerate the decline of their profession.
HMOs and governments ultimately set the pay scale for this service. Some hospitals are already outsourcing radiology work to India. It's just a matter of time before AI is used more widely in the field due to cost constraints.
