A group in Seoul, Korea, has developed an AI model that could help reduce radiology workflows by identifying “no changes” in follow-up chest x-rays of patients in critical care, according to a study published October 24 in Radiology. In a test set of 533 pairs of patient x-rays (baseline and follow-up), the algorithm was highly accurate when interpreting those that showed no changes, wrote first authors Jihye Yun, PhD, Yura Ahn, MD, of the University of Ulsan, and colleagues.
