Why would things be changing quickly now when old-school AI have been out-diagnosing doctors for years?

Again, like I said, doctors are ultimately responsible for the final call made. So no amount of AI will replace any doctors. It may remove some toil, but they cannot be replaced.

Was the previous test Done with massive amounts of structured input which would be incredibly time-consuming for the doctor involved? I think the difference now is that we’re talking About making diagnosis with minimal extra work or time from the clinicians

The tools actually save time and effort now, and don’t have a steep learning curve.

At least that’s my view from radiology as a tech.
