"Unquestionably, the s approach the diagnostic task with a level of intelligence, flexibility, and common sense that is difficult to duplicate with a computer. Thus far, research findings have demonstrated only that computers are the best savants when it comes to executing mathematically rigorous steps toward the solution of narrowly defined problems. Nonetheless, the radiologists approach is not devoid of limitations. There are well-documented errors and variations in the human interpretation of ... Some study findings even indicate that the same errors are being made now, as they were in earlier decades ..."
