So basically you need a person to blame if things don't go the best way possible?

No, but someone needs to bear responsibility. Whether that's a doctor, or a CEO directly, ordering the replacement of a radiologist by AI. If things go sideways, there needs to be a chain or responsibility.
The ability to go to prison / be stripped of a license when something goes wrong.
A single doctor will care for far fewer patients in their career than an AI system will. Even if the AI system is 10x less likely to make mistakes, the sheer number of patients will make it much more likely to make a mistake somewhere.
With a single doctor, the PR and legal fallout of a medical error is limited to that doctor. This preserves trust in the medical system. The doctor made a mistake, they were punished, they're not your doctor, so you're not affected and can still feel safe seeing whoever you're seeing. AI won't have that luxury.
