Comprehensive chest x-ray AI launch is backed by positive study results - RAD Magazine

A chest x-ray AI decision support tool for radiologists and clinicians that detects 124 clinical findings has been launched. The study found that when used as an assist device, Annalise CXR significantly improved the ability of radiologists to perceive 102 chest x-ray findings in a non-clinical environment, was statistically non-inferior for 19 findings and no findings showed a decrease in accuracy. It also assessed the stand-alone performance of the model in a non-clinical environment against radiologists in identifying chest x-ray pathology, as well as investigating the effect of model output on radiologist performance when used as an assist device. Annalise CXR's AI model classification alone was said to be significantly more accurate than unassisted radiologists for 117 of 124 clinical findings predicted by the model and was non-inferior to unassisted radiologists for all other clinical findings. Co-founder and ceo Dimitry Tran said: "A major challenge facing global health systems is that the number of scans requiring clinical interpretation is growing at a greater pace than increases in the number of radiologists to interpret them.
