I suspect AI went that way in radiology not because of the chances of False Negatives, but because radiologist are entrenched in the system and will not yield an insanely lucrative stream of revenue.

Hospitals would love to fire all radiologists and replace them with software.

They've already done it with outsourcing; a large chunk of what used to be done entirely in-house has been contracted out to remote overseas doctors.

What is outsourced to overseas doctors today? I'm assuming you're talking about the US.

From what I understand it isn't even possible generally to see a doctor remotely in a cheaper state, because medical licensing is per-state.
