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.
