Better superconductors here. Would you like a $20 MRI down at your local drug store to detect cancer at early stage 1?

The problem isn't the cheaper MRI. The problem is the expert that needs to interpret the results. Detecting millions of cancers that don't actually exist doesn't help anybody.

This is a problem domain AI is good at. Have AIs do first-pass, then when they flag something an actual doctor reviews it. Then if they concur it goes to your doctor, who knows you, who can review it.
