Agentic systems can bridge the gap between narrow specialist radiology AI and broad generalist models, but only if they have access to the right tools and can effectively decide which tools to use—tool availability and orchestration strategy are equally important constraints.
This paper studies how agentic systems—AI orchestrators that coordinate multiple specialized tools—can improve radiology reporting. Researchers built a framework where an orchestrator calls modular radiology AI tools to generate structured reports, then tested it against FDA-cleared devices.
