    1. Finally, the use of AI in medical radiology also has the potential to reduce radiation exposure to patients. AI algorithms can be used to optimize imaging protocols and minimize the amount of radiation exposure that patients receive during medical imaging procedures. This has the potential to significantly improve patient safety and reduce the risk of harm.

      AI could also help reduce unnecessary imaging by flagging when a scan might not even be needed, which lowers patient exposure. However, will doctors still have the final say or will this be too much of relying on AI that can make mistakes?

    2. Virtual consultations are another way in which AI is being used to improve the delivery of healthcare. By providing remote medical care, patients can receive medical treatment without having to travel to a healthcare facility. This can be especially beneficial for those who live in remote areas or who have mobility issues.

      I agree with this benefit, but it makes me wonder if all patients have reliable internet access to actually use virtual consultations.
