It’s not diagnosing, which is good imho. It’s just being used to remove noise and artifacts from the images on the scan. This means the MRI is clearer for the reading physician and ordering surgeon in the case of the MRI and that the cardiologist can use less radiation during the procedure yet get the same quality image in the lab.

I’m still wary of using it to diagnose in basically any scenario because of the salience and danger that both false negatives and false positives threaten.
