Scientists with Siemens Healthineers retrospectively tested the algorithm on radiographs from over 14,000 patients. Individuals were imaged at Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology LLP, an outpatient imaging center with multiple locations in the northeast U.S., between 2020 and 2022, according to research published in Academic Radiology [1].
