AI assistance can improve the detection accuracy of thoracic abnormalities on chest x-rays across radiologists with varying levels of expertise, according to a study published December 12 in Radiology. About 50% of the x-rays had abnormal findings. AI detected a lung mass, a lung nodule, and a small pneumothorax.

AI algorithms appear to have clinical value based on detecting normal x-rays – that is, by flagging chest x-rays as normal versus abnormal, they may reduce reading times for radiologists, according to research presented recently at the RSNA meeting in Chicago.
