Radiology Adopts Agentic AI For Workflow Automation

Rishi Nayyar, CEO of PocketHealth, argues radiology is uniquely positioned to adopt agentic AI to automate non-clinical workflows now. He cites high operational volume and measurable burdens—including roughly 400,000 inbound imaging scheduling calls annually—and a decade of AI governance experience in imaging. If implemented, agentic systems could automate scheduling, prior-authorizations, multilingual outreach, and serve as a blueprint for broader health system operations.
