Considering the limited number of non-radiologists, it would be advisable to consolidate them for more comprehensive analysis.

The diagnosis of radiologists differs from non-radiologists, and is not affected by the use of AI, just as there is no interaction between group and AI.

For the time, radiologists took more time than generals before taking up AI. With Ai they did it faster (-10) and there is an interaction between group and time, with radiology occupying AI taking -4 less time than non-radiologists.
