AI Tool Can Rule Out Unremarkable Pathology on Chest X-Ray
HCP Live August 21, 2024
Although the study concluded AI had equal or lower rates of critical misses than radiology reports of remarkable chest radiographs, AI had greater critical miss rates.
A commercial artificial intelligence (AI) tool has the potential to rule out unremarkable pathology in between 24.5% and 52.7% of chest X-rays, a new study found.1
Radiologists typically look at a high volume of unremarkable chest radiographs. However, with the use of AI, they will no longer have to look at a bunch of normal radiographs and can focus on looking for irregularities.
“Our group and others have previously shown that AI tools are capable of excluding pathology in chest X-rays with high confidence and thereby provide an autonomous normal report without a human-in-the-loop,”...
