> catch the tumor in 99.9999% of cases, better than any human doctor

I don't think results are anywhere close to that in the field. If hospitals could do without radiologists, they would do so immediately. Currently, we are seeing very little technical progress due to applied statistics in the field, and the real cause of that is that tech people don't understand what we do and why we're still very much needed. The problem lies more in information retrieval capabilities than acting on the data itself.
