AI model shows promise for interpreting follow-up chest x-rays

AuntMinnie

Radiologists routinely compare the current and previous chest radiographs during interpretation to enhance the sensitivity for change detection and provide information for differential diagnosis. Example of triage of no change in a pair of chest radiographs in the emergency department. (A) Image courtesy of Radiology.
