Four out of seven commercially available AI algorithms for detecting lung nodules on x-rays performed better than human readers, while two algorithms for predicting bone age fell short, in a study published January 9 in Radiology. Project AIR is an ongoing cohort study aimed at filling this gap, the authors wrote.
