Identifying body parts inside the body seems like exactly the kind of thing AI should NOT be doing, they all look the same. It takes a lot of training and experience to be able to identify them correctly.
As user Chana said it makes some sense just not under a for profit system, it can difficult to tell one red mass of flesh on a screen from another, so in theory computer vision could provide a "second pair of eyes" for verification, but that's only if it was actually implemented correctly with the proper testing and training, which it wont be until it's costing hospitals more in lawsuits than it gets from kickbacks
It's also exactly the kind of thing that, using the methodologies accepted by the "AI" industry, AI will beat human professionals at easily every time! (Clown industry with clown methodologies.)
