Create advanced digital images of patients using computer imaging systems.

Create advanced digital images of patients using computer imaging systems. is a detailed work activity in O*NET — a concrete unit of work shared across 7 occupations and seen in 10 occupation-specific tasks. It rolls up into the broader work activity Operate medical equipment. in Controlling Machines and Processes .

Detailed work activities are the most granular shared layer in O*NET's work-activity hierarchy (Generalized → Intermediate → Detailed → occupation-specific task). The figures below describe how this activity shows up across the economy and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the work will be automated.

AI exposure

Of the 10 tasks under this activity that the OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rated, 10 (100%) are flagged as directly exposed to language models (E1) or exposed via model-powered tools (E2).

Exposure estimates overlap with model capabilities — whether a model could speed the task up — not whether the work will be done by software. Observed AI use is augmentation and assistance today, not jobs replaced.

Member tasks

Occupation-specific tasks O*NET maps to this detailed work activity, most important first.

• Select appropriate imaging techniques or coils to produce required images. · Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologists · importance 4.9 · exposure with tools
• Detect and map radiopharmaceuticals in patients' bodies, using a camera to produce photographic or computer images. · Nuclear Medicine Technologists · importance 4.9 · exposure with tools
• Decide which images to include, looking for differences between healthy and pathological areas. · Diagnostic Medical Sonographers · importance 4.8 · exposure with tools
• Identify and outline bodily structures, using imaging procedures, such as x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, or positron emission tomography. · Medical Dosimetrists · importance 4.8 · exposure with tools
