Machine learning is already used in Radiology. Chances are eventually Radiology will be the domain of machines. But it's going to take some time to get there. Healthcare is extremely regulated and closed minded.
Most of the people in the thread you listed above are clearly biased towards medicine and against computer science and machine learning. But machine learning has been having success in diagnostic medicine even well before the deep learning boom that thread talks about.
