Agreed, but I believe "using AI for inference from sparse observations" is unfortunately a thing already.

That's not "unfortunate."

Sparse observations save lives. A quicker MR. Less X-Ray exposure.

It's totally valid to worry about validation, but to the degree you can validate image processing algorithms of any kind - AI or otherwise - they absolutely save lives.

NMRI use microwaves, not x-rays.
Yes, and when a quick MRI is available, it can remove the need for a CT. Fast brain protocols are now less than 5 minutes. This makes things practical that weren't before.
I was talking about MR and CT. Applies to PET, too.

Image processing saves lives.

It's not unfortunate, it improves acquisition times and image quality - I use it daily.
