How often do you think the x-ray machine breaks vs how often software shits the bed?

Like one of the biggest complaints I've heard around hospital IT systems is how brittle they are because there are a million different vendors tied to each component. Every new system we add makes it more brittle.

Seems like a pretty easy fix in treating the system that runs the cancer detection algorithm as an hospital machine and not as part of the IT system. It can be an airgapped system that runs just the needed software in a a controlled configuration.

This is not new, lots of mission critical software systems are run like this.
