but doesn't radiology specifically have the reputation for being the "unsung heroes" or at least the unsung among physicians ? with the exception of interventional radiology I thought they hardly ever interacted with pts ?

Indeed. My comment was more general in nature. Specialisations of medicine that have less direct interaction will be the first to be automated. Laboratory ones are pretty much already.
As soon as AI manages to show that capabilities, it's the end. Algorithms are much more accurate in combining all the available biomedical information needed to decide for diagnosis and therapy.
