Chest X-ray Interpretation Better with AI

A new deep learning model could help radiologists in any facility interpret chest X-rays. In a new study published in The Lancet Digital Health, investigators from Australia outlined their new tool. It is designed to alleviate heavy workloads and make it easier for providers who do not have specialty thoracic training to read these scans while reducing errors. Chest X-rays are already the most common imaging study worldwide, and that number is growing, said the team from annalise.ai, the company that created the AI model. Developing a tool to help shoulder the weight and process the workload will be critical. "The ability of the AI model to identify findings on chest X-rays is very encouraging," said Catherine Jones, MBBS, thoracic radiologist, chest lead at annalise.ai,
