Foundation models for medical imaging could help, but will be hard to create. Radiologists can identify hundreds of different types of diseases across many image modalities (MRI, CT, chest X-ray, other X-ray, mammography, ultrasound, PET, SPECT) and also have a detailed knowledge of what variations of anatomy are normal vs anomalous.
