A commercially available AI algorithm shows potential for off-label use as a way to generate automatic reports for “unremarkable” chest x-rays, according to a study published August 20 in Radiology. The finding by researchers in Copenhagen, Denmark, suggests that AI could eventually help streamline high-volume radiology workflows by handling some of the more “tedious parts of the work,” lead author Louis Plesner, MD, of Herlev and Gentofte Hospital in Denmark told AuntMinnie.com.
