This paper explores medical imaging's epistemology, focusing on image reading challenges. It adopts "reliabilism," defining knowledge as reliably error-minimized outcomes. While AI lacks maturity, specialized physicians remain vital for image reading. Errors, up to 30%, persist in radiological reports. "Seeing-as," akin to Gestalt perception, further complicates, blurring error distinctions. Transparency and accountability challenges arise due to its complexity. The paper suggests avenues to reconcile knowledge accountability and the intricate "seeing-as" process, aiming to deepen the understanding of imaging's epistemology amidst these challenges.

Abstract
This paper explores medical imaging's epistemology, focusing on image reading challenges. It adopts "reliabilism," defining knowledge as reliably error-minimized outcomes. While AI lacks maturity, specialized physicians remain vital for image reading. Errors, up to 30%, persist in radiological reports. "Seeing-as," akin to Gestalt perception, further complicates, blurring error distinctions. Transparency and accountability challenges arise due to its complexity. The paper suggests avenues to reconcile knowledge accountability and the intricate "seeing-as" process, aiming to deepen the understanding of imaging's epistemology amidst these challenges.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
