Radiology

Patients are already reading their radiology report. What happens when they hand it to an AI too?

Portals turned the patient into a direct reader of the report. Evidence from 2025 and 2026 shows where AI improves comprehension and where it starts to fail: when it moves from explaining to interpreting.
