1Good morning, everyone, and welcome to today's lecture on artificial intelligence in modern medical diagnosis.
2Many people assume these systems are already replacing doctors, but that is not the case.
3In reality, most hospitals use the software as a second reader, not as a substitute for specialists.
4Let me give you a concrete example from a recent study carried out in Denmark.
5The study initially suggested the program missed fewer tumours than junior radiologists did.
6However, further analysis revealed it performed poorly with images from older scanning machines.
7This surprised researchers who had expected the software to work consistently across different equipment.
8Moving on to costs, it was not the price of the software that worried hospital managers.
9Instead, their main concern was the time and money needed to train staff properly.
10The trial was originally scheduled for March, though it was eventually pushed back to September.
11What I want to emphasize here is that technology alone cannot guarantee better patient outcomes.
12Next week, we will look at how doctors and algorithms can work together effectively.
