Radiologists diagnosed lung diseases more accurately than artificial intelligence
Scientists from Aarhus University Hospital compared the accuracy of diagnosing lung diseases by a radiologist and using available methods based on artificial intelligence (AI) based on X-ray results. The study results were published in the journal Radiology.
The researchers concluded that AI-based methods have moderate to high sensitivity in detecting diseases associated with decreased transparency of lung tissue, pneumothorax and pleural effusion. But the frequency of false positive results when using them is significantly higher. In addition, effectiveness decreased at low volumes and with multiple changes.
