Is there any possible way that a test that is not entirely reliable can be used for screening? Like, couldn't they have a radiologist look at the photo to confirm the result?


Yeah you could do that and it's happening in practice. Many countries implement double reading where two radiologists look at it. In the USA, single reading + computer-aided diagnosis is quite common using commercial, FDA-approved software.
