In essence, AI is serving as “a second set of eyes.” So far, AI is proving to be a powerful medical tool to increase efficiency and magnify human abilities, rather than take anyone’s job. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/technology/ai-jobs-radiologists-mayo-clinic.html?unlocked_article_code=1.HU8.6zJU.2tuUwyOt6Gqr&smid=url-share #AI #radiology #MayoClinic #Medicine #OpenAI #Anthropic #Radiologists

I'm really pleased I was able to gain cooperation for wearing an #ElastomericRespirator for each of these three #MedicalImaging #scans.

I hope these experiences also help #radiology technicians and #radiologists be aware that #patients may be able to be supported successfully in this way.

Hope the above was helpful for other folks. 🙂
