This is actually why it isn't ideal for AI to tackle. The fact is there's no market for the product.
Right now much of the mammogram reading is extremely straight forward. Radiologists can fly through those exams with high quality, especially when you consider the macros they have setup that allow them to write most of the report with with a two second voice command.
This is one of the biggest things radiologists complain about- from their perspective most AI is solving problems that aren't actually useful to radiologists. I think the companies that will do best are the ones that augment radiologists with a focus on making them more accurate and efficient, rather than trying to cut them out of the loop (I'm a bit bias though as my previous company, Rad AI, is taking the augmentation approach and it has worked out rather well).
