AI assistant learns from radiology reports to spot problems in abdominal scans

THE AI ANGLE
Analyzing abdominal CT scansResearchers built an AI model called RADAR that learns from clinical radiology reports to read abdominal CT scans. The system boosted diagnostic sensitivity by about 10 percent and reduced scan reading time by roughly 31 percent. In hospital tests, junior radiologists using the tool performed at or above the level of unassisted senior radiologists.
THE TEACHING ANGLE
The model enabled junior radiologists to match senior diagnostic levels, but it still requires validation across wider geographic and ethnic populations.Read the original at medicalxpress.com Generate teaching or study materials
