Part of it.

Human doctors will not only tell you if there's something funky in the image, but will also interpret it in light of a patient's medical history, symptoms, possible diagnoses, etc.

Subtle shading near some structure involved in one of two possible conditions might be very important, but an obvious cyst in an unrelated organ likely means nothing. People are weird close-up!

This is an excellent point. An AI may be able to do a diagnosis to you, but a doc could do diagnosis+post diagnosis, with the foresight of medical history. Theoretically an AI could possibly do this as well, but we're nowhere close.
