AI imaging bias reduces diagnostic accuracy
Systematically biased artificial intelligence (AI) imaging models lower diagnostic accuracy by over 11 percentage points, according to research published December 19 in JAMA. A team led by Sarah Jabbour from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor also found that biased AI model predictions with explanations lowered accuracy by about nine percentage points. However, accuracy improved by over four percentage points when clinicians reviewed a patient clinical vignette with standard AI model predictions and model explanations compared with baseline measures. “Given the unprecedented pace of AI development, it is essential...

AI model identifies high-risk lung cancer in nonsmokers
In this study, the researchers externally validated the model in a separate group of never-smokers who underwent routine outpatient chest x-rays from 2013 to 2014. The primary outcome was six-year incident lung cancer, identified using International Classification of Disease codes. Risk scores were then converted to low, moderate, and high-risk groups based on externally derived risk thresholds.
Of 17,407 patients (mean age 63 years) included in the study, 28% were deemed high risk by the deep learning model, and 2.9% of these patients later had a diagnosis of lung cancer, according to the findings. In addition, the high-...

Road to RSNA 2023: CT
Photon-counting CT (PCCT) has dominated discussion for the last number of RSNA meetings, and this year will be no exception. Expect to hear PCCT research findings about how the technology can increase image quality and lower radiation dose in pulmonary angiography for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism; how it appears to boost the contrast-to-noise ratio of vascular structures on chest CT; and what it has to offer in the musculoskeletal arena.
Meeting attendees will also get the scoop on the role CT radiomics can play in clinical care, particularly helping clinicians determine the best treatment for patients sufferi...

Road to RSNA 2023: Digital X-Ray
This year’s trip along the Road to RSNA for digital x-ray features mileposts mostly set by AI research. Models will be proposed for applications ranging from predicting bone density on chest x-rays to generating complete reports on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. Yet several presentations to be given at the meeting reminded us that issues concerning basic elements of x-ray technology remain highly important, as well as whether imaging access is equitable in the "real-world."In one, a group at the University of Washington in St. Louis asked, “How much ionizing radiation are neonatal patients exposed to during ...
