Artificial intelligence in radiology and global health equity

Summary: Artificial intelligence (AI) is often seen as the magic fix for radiology. But for a doctor in Nigeria, the real problem isn't fancy tech—it's basic access. In many places, gold-standard tests like CT scans are too expensive or far away. Instead, doctors have to rely on basic imaging and their own smarts to treat patients. If AI is only made for wealthy hospitals, it will leave millions behind. The true future of AI in medicine should focus on making cheap, basic imaging better and bringing care to everyone, no matter where they live.
