RSNA: High Accuracy Artificial Intelligence Improves Lung Cancer Detection

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, June 27, 2023

OAK BROOK, Ill., June 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Assistance from an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm with high diagnostic accuracy improved radiologist performance in detecting lung cancers on chest X-rays and increased human acceptance of AI suggestions, according to a study published in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

Key Points: 
  • Researchers at Seoul National University looked at how these factors might influence the detection of malignant lung nodules during AI-assisted reading of chest X-rays.
  • Of the 120 chest radiographs assessed, 60 were from lung cancer patients (32 males) and 60 were controls (36 males).
  • In a second session, each group reinterpreted the X-rays, assisted by either a high- or low-accuracy AI.
  • Use of the high accuracy AI improved readers' detection performance to a greater extent than low-accuracy AI.
