In an interview with AuntMinnie.com, Louis Plesner, MD, of Herlev and Gentofte Hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark, discussed a study he led that was published September 26 in Radiology that found radiologists outperformed four commercially available algorithms for identifying diseases on chest x-rays.

Can AI help rule out ‘unremarkable’ chest x-rays?
Example of triage of no change in a pair of chest radiographs in the emergency department. (A) Baseline posteroanterior chest radiograph in a 63-year-old female patient shows a small amount of left (L) pleural effusion and partial atelectasis of the right middle lobe. (B) Follow-up posteroanterior chest radiograph obtained in the same patient 1 day later shows no significant change. (C) Gradient-weighted class activation map shows the algorithm determined no change in the image pair, without relevant highlighting, as the highlighted area is located over the gastroesophageal junction.

Following the introduction of the AI-generated report, only one reader maintained the specific mention of a nodule, whereas the other four readers adapted their reports to include the AI-suggested terminology of “granulomatous calcifications.” AP = anterior-posterior.
