HPI: Nonradiologists interpret more than a third of office-based imaging

AuntMinnie

"Nonradiologist specialties, aside from cardiology, lack the rigorous and comprehensive training in imaging interpretation that occurs during the four years of a radiology residency program. The large differences between radiologists and nonradiologists in interpretation training could lead to differences in diagnostic accuracy."

Can LLMs help improve oncologic imaging interpretation?

AuntMinnie

An LLM enabled accurate automated clinical histories for oncologic imaging from clinical notes, the authors wrote. Compared with original requisition histories, LLM-generated histories were more complete and were preferred by radiologists for imaging interpretation and perceived safety.

Mimicking human vision: The new standard for medical image fidelity

AuntMinnie

Medical imaging is the economic artery of modern diagnostics, with AI-driven advancements prompting clinicians to rethink how they interpret scans. For instance, the global medical imaging AI market 1 is projected to expand eightfold by 2030, reaching an estimated $8.18 Ravinder Singh. Vaibhavi Sonetha, PhD.

Customized support reduces CT, MRI order errors

AuntMinnie

Up to 44% of diagnostic errors are due to laboratory tests and radiology exams that were inappropriately ordered, according to research published January 2 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. Reducing the order error rate may minimize diagnostic errors and potentially minimize harm to patients," the group noted.

How imaging AI developers can avoid pitfalls when testing algorithms

AuntMinnie

Postoperative changes and medical devices – Previous reports suggest that AI algorithms “are not properly trained” to recognize postoperative changes and how they impact image interpretation, the authors noted. Also, medical devices such as catheters, implants, prosthetics, or pacemakers can impact AI’s performance.

Non-Physician Providers Increasingly Used in Imaging Interpretations

Vesta Teleradiology

A study published in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology examines the increasing trend of NPPs taking on imaging interpretation responsibilities. The study analyzed data from over 3 million imaging claims between 2016 and 2020 and found that 3% were attributed to NPPs, with the highest rates in rural areas.
